Disney-owned ABC has filed a First Amendment lawsuit against the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) after the FCC initiated an early renewal process for ABC's broadcast licenses. The FCC's review was linked to concerns about ABC's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts and followed political backlash related to critical programming about President Donald Trump. ABC claims the FCC's actions are retaliatory and is seeking to halt the early license renewal proceedings through the lawsuit. The FCC has not yet commented on the lawsuit, and the situation is ongoing.
