The Federal Communications Commission is moving toward a review of Disney’s broadcast licenses as the ABC owner faces backlash from the Trump administration over Jimmy Kimmel’s controversial monologue, according to a report.
The FCC, which is led by chairman Brendan Carr, may choose not to trigger the process, known as early license review, according to Semafor, citing anonymous sources.
Carr noted recently that the FCC has a number of investigations into a host of broadcasters, including NBC, ABC, PBS and National Public Radio.

I know, nothing will probably come of this, but if it causes that little coward Kimmel 30 seconds of discomfort that's fine with me.

“nothing will probably come of this”
Our side too often minimizes what the patriots are doing. I’d suggest moving past this bad habit.
It only advances the communist agenda.
If both sides of this TDS social issue behaved as the Left has...Kimmel wouldn’t be drawing breath much longer.
Agree. We on the right are like the Israelites traveling in the wilderness: never happy and always whining. Not seeing blessings.
“It only advances the communist agenda.” How?
Let’s make it 45 seconds this time. Just for funzies.
ABC should be required to air”The Man Show” alternate nights so viewers get to see booth Jimmy Kimmels.
Most boring distraction ever. We deserve better distractions.
IMO, this is a waste of time and just gives the liberals more talking points about “Kings”. The way to stop this is a nationwide boycott of any advertisers of his show. An effective boycott will shut him down faster than any govt action
Hey I’m just going on recent history.
A lot of posturing with not a lot of results IMO.
Just an objective observation. 🤷♂️
I hope kimmel gets jerked off the air for the rest of his natural life.
Serves that little SOB right.
Good points.
The joke was in poor taste but hardly rises to the level of needing government action against Disney. This is a case of Trump using FCC as a bully pulpit and it is not a good thing.
Agree.
about time.
that unfunny lefty NYC comic and The View .
Yank it .
\Kimmell is about as funny as a rubber crutch.
The blessings are all around you.
The communist agenda is to kill hope.
He's a jerk but the First Amendment gives him a right to be a jerk. I'm not losing the First Amendment to a jerk.
Yeah, the usual. Blah blah blah.
