ABC Sues FCC Over License Pressure, Defending Editorial Speech

Disney-owned ABC filed a First Amendment lawsuit against the FCC in Washington, D.C., arguing that government pressure to rush license renewals and scrutinize its programming amounts to unconstitutional interference with its speech and editorial decisions. The company contends the Trump administration and the FCC have pressured ABC to align with political priorities, citing moves to pre-file renewals and investigations into shows like The View, and has sought emergency relief (temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction) while arguing that the true target is the content of its programming rather than license practices.

Brady and Aikman Retain Restricted Access as Dual Roles Persist

The NFL will keep Tom Brady under the same access restrictions as last year and extend them to Troy Aikman due to Brady’s Raiders ownership and Aikman’s Dolphins consulting and ESPN Monday Night Football duties. Both may attend virtual production meetings but cannot access team facilities or practices, and interviews must be offsite. They’re still bound by tampering and gambling policies, with past rule adjustments tied to Brady’s Fox role and the Raiders purchase—now approved by owners—amid ongoing questions about potential conflicts.

Aikman Faces Brady-Style Access Rules Amid Dolphins Consulting Role

The NFL will apply Brady-style restrictions to Troy Aikman due to his dual role as ESPN’s Monday Night Football commentator and a Miami Dolphins consultant, limiting his access to team facilities and practices, restricting production meetings (virtual only), and confining interviews to off-site locations, while allowing him to broadcast games involving his own club; the Dolphins’ search for a new GM previously brought Aikman aboard as a consultant, a process that led to Jon-Eric Sullivan becoming GM and Jeff Hafley as head coach.

Sinclair Bets on Deregulated TV Landscape Amid FCC Ownership-Cap Move

Sinclair CEO Chris Ripley said he couldn’t be happier about the FCC’s expected repeal of the 39% local TV ownership cap, arguing the deregulation will reduce risk and unlock large-scale M&A in a changing media landscape. The move could influence Nexstar’s Tegna case and broader consolidation efforts, though legal challenges are anticipated. On the earnings front, Sinclair reported Q2 revenue of $840 million, up 7% year over year, but a net loss of $1.06 per share, with revenue beating forecasts but earnings missing expectations. Ripley signaled ongoing dealmaking ambitions beyond Scripps, viewing cap removal as a catalyst for future transactions despite regulatory hurdles.
