ABC sues U.S. broadcast regulator over early licence reviews, calling it an 'existential threat'

ABC has filed a lawsuit against the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) over its demand for early review of broadcast licenses, claiming it's an "existential threat" to its operations. This legal action underscores the escalating conflict between ABC and the Trump administration, with the network arguing that the FCC's move infringes on its First Amendment rights. The case could have significant implications for media freedom and the regulatory environment, potentially setting a precedent for future interactions between broadcasters and federal agencies.
