美国联邦通信委员会主席布伦丹·卡尔为该机构针对ABC的行动进行了辩护,声称广播公司"有义务按照公共利益进行运营"1。此言论出炉之际,ABC已对FCC提出指控,称该机构因不满其政治内容而进行报复,并对八个ABC旗下本地广播许可证启动了提前审查1。
ABC在提交的文件中指出,"没有疑问为什么委员会挑选这八个电台。每一个都由ABC拥有,政府公开多次呼吁撤销ABC的许可证"1。FCC于4月启动了这一提前审查程序1,这是超过50年来该机构首次采取此类行动1。在公众评议中,ABC获得了广泛支持,收到超过140,000份公众评论,其中超过95%支持ABC的立场1。
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr has defended the agency's accelerated review of eight ABC-owned local broadcast licenses, asserting that broadcasters have a responsibility to operate "in the public interest."1 The FCC initiated the early renewal process for these stations in April, marking the first such action by the agency in more than 50 years.1
ABC has characterized the regulatory action as politically motivated retaliation, arguing that the targeted stations are exclusively ABC-owned properties and that government officials have previously called for the revocation of ABC's licenses.1 The network submitted filings contending that the early review demonstrates political suppression tied to dissatisfaction with the broadcaster's editorial content.1 In response to the FCC's action, ABC received more than 140,000 public comments, with over 95 percent supporting the network's position.1
