The nation’s leading broadcasting industry organization is expressing alarm over a Federal Communications Commission move to conduct an early examination of Disney’s eight ABC television station licenses, describing the action as virtually unheard of in regulatory history.
On Wednesday, the National Association of Broadcasters warned that this regulatory decision “creates significant uncertainty for all broadcasters” across the United States. The organization emphasized concerns about potential ripple effects throughout the industry.
The broadcasting group cautioned that “FCC must be careful to avoid actions that create further instability for the local stations viewers and listeners depend on,” highlighting worries about how such regulatory moves might affect communities that rely on these television outlets for news and information.
