FCC Nears 2 Rulings Against Disney, Threatening TV Licenses Over 'The View'
3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jul 16
Summary
As soon as next month, the FCC is expected to act against Walt Disney in two separate probes, extending pressure on the company’s broadcast operations.
One ruling would find that “The View” is not a bona fide news program, according to people familiar with the matter.
The agency is also preparing to send scrutiny of Disney’s broadcast TV licenses to a hearing, the next formal step toward possible license revocation.
The moves are likely to come before the Labor Day holiday, setting up a fresh regulatory clash for Disney over both programming status and station licenses.
