The Daily Beast has reported that the FCC, or the Federal Communications Commission, has issued several threats to ABC shows such as Jimmy Kimmel: Live! and The View. And at D23 this year, Disney CEO Josh D’Amaro spoke up: “Our position on this is clear. We’re very principled on this. We’re going to stand up to what we believe is journalistic integrity. And we’re not going to be told how to run that side of our business. Our filings, I think, speak for that. I like what we do. We tell incredible stories. I think we do it well. We do it around the world. And we’re going to stay committed to that.” Josh D’Amaro at SXSW 2023 ©Disney This statement comes months after the FCC review of eight local ABC shows, as well as The View, began. The FCC ordered these reviews back in April, soon after the current Administration was calling for the dismissal of Jimmy Kimmel. FCC Chairman Carr has also claimed that these reviews are a part of a larger investigation into Disney’s DEI policies. ©Jimmy Kimmel Live! However, the story does not end here. Variety has reported that ABC has filed a First Amendment lawsuit against the FCC. According to ABC’s lawyers, they had “no alternative means to eliminate these ongoing and immediate threats other than total capitulation to the Administration’s demands.” ©ABC We will continue to keep you informed on how this situation unfolds, so stay tuned to Disney Food Blog so you do not miss anything.
