FCC Asks Court to Reject Disney Lawsuit Over ABC Stations' Licenses The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has asked a court to reject Disney's lawsuit over the licenses of its ABC stations.
This move is part of a broader effort by the commission to regulate media consolidation and maintain local content requirements in the broadcasting industry.
Background on Disney's Lawsuit Disney's challenge against the FCC began when the commission approved new rules for broadcast station licenses, which limit the number of stations a company can own to no more than 39% of the national market.
