6abc warns Philly viewers Trump's FCC threatening to take them off TV

Key Points:

• ABC-owned 6abc is facing an FCC review of its broadcast license, with the agency citing concerns over Disney's diversity and anti-discrimination policies, though some view the review as politically motivated following President Trump's criticism of ABC.
• FCC Commissioner Anna M. Gomez criticized the review as a politically driven "campaign of censorship" targeting ABC and Disney, while the FCC maintains the investigation is about compliance with anti-discrimination laws.
• 6abc is urging viewers to submit public comments supporting the station by June 29 via the FCC's website, as the agency could potentially revoke its license if violations are found, although such revocations are rare and would take years to resolve.
• The FCC is also investigating ABC's daytime show The View for allegedly violating the equal-time rule during a political interview, challenging its status as a bona fide news program, a move ABC calls unprecedented and an attempt to suppress protected speech.
• The FCC under the Trump administration has signaled a shift in enforcement, warning that late-night and daytime talk shows may no longer be exempt from equal-time rules, reversing prior leniency toward political appearances on entertainment programs.
