FCC moves to toss ABC free-speech suit over early license reviews
TL;DR Summary
FCC asks a federal court to dismiss ABC’s lawsuit alleging the agency is curbing free speech by pursuing an early renewal review of eight ABC stations; the agency says the suit is premature since no licenses have been acted on yet, and notes the review followed ABC's DEI-policy scrutiny and a Trump-era demand regarding Jimmy Kimmel. A hearing is scheduled for the week of Oct. 5.
