Head of FCC Rejects Donald Trump’s Call to Revoke ABC Broadcast License


FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel rejected a call by Donald Trump for the government to "take away" ABC's broadcast license.

The Commission does not revoke licenses for broadcast stations simply because a political candidate disagrees with or dislikes content or coverage. Our job at the agency is to license broadcast stations in a manner consistent with the Constitution and the Communications Act of 1934 as well as the rules and policies we have adopted pursuant to these laws. The viewership number was up 31% from the 51.266 million who tuned in to Trump’s debate with president Joe Biden, hosted by CNN, in June, before the latter dropped out to endorse Harris.
