Contrary to Disney's claim that the FCC called in their broadcast licenses for early renewal for no reason, the record shows something very different.
The FCC has been investigating Disney for over a year now after reports surfaced alleging that it had been discriminating against people based on race, gender, or other protected characteristics in violation of federal nondiscrimination laws.
The allegations include concerns about Disney hiring, promoting, compensating, and providing or denying workplace opportunities based on protected characteristics.
Disney only filed these applications to renew their ABC broadcast licenses after the FCC informed the company that their responses to the agency's investigation had been disingenuous, deficient, and improper.
Broadcast licensees have a unique obligation to operate in the public interest. The FCC will follow the facts and law wherever they may lead.
