ABC sues the FCC to stop an early review of its TV licenses

ABC sued the FCC to halt an early renewal of eight of its TV station licenses, arguing the Trump Administration’s “retaliatory campaign” over its programming forced the network to submit applications ahead of schedule. The suit cites the FCC’s sudden 30-day deadline, the president’s calls to fire Jimmy Kimmel, and the network’s refusal to air a presidential address, claiming these actions threaten free speech and press independence.
