The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is set to rule that ABC's daytime talk show 'The View' is not a bona fide news program, which would subject it to federal equal-time rules requiring comparable airtime for political candidates. This move challenges over two decades of precedent and could impact ABC's editorial control. The FCC is also escalating an investigation into Disney's broadcast licenses for ABC-owned stations in major markets. Disney plans to contest any adverse rulings. The decision follows an FCC inquiry sparked by 'The View's' interview with a Texas Senate candidate, raising questions about equal airtime for rivals. The outcome could lead to administrative hearings and appeals, marking a significant regulatory shift in US broadcasting oversight.
