A lawsuit has been filed by ABC to prevent the loss of broadcast licenses. This action was taken after an early review of licenses was initiated. The review began following a public comment by President Donald Trump regarding a talk show host.

The FCC has responded by asking a judge to dismiss the lawsuit. An investigation into Disney/ABC is underway, focusing on compliance with broadcasting obligations. Further information on this matter is available, including details on the investigation and the lawsuit.

The FCC's decision to initiate an early review has prompted concerns about potential retaliation.
