FCC Asks Court to Toss ABC Suit Over Broadcast Licenses
ABC sued the FCC, and the agency asked a U.S. court to toss the challenge as premature because the FCC has not yet moved to strip ABC’s broadcast licenses. The FCC says ABC is trying to short-circuit a regulatory process tied to an ongoing diversity and inclusion investigation. It argues license stripping would end ABC stations’ business, though stations could operate while the case proceeds.
