美国联邦通信委员会周二表示,已下令华特迪士尼公司为其旗下的美国广播公司(ABC)电视台提前提交执照续期申请。
FCC在命令中表示,正在调查ABC电视台“可能违反”1934年《通信法》以及该机构禁止非法歧视的规定。
一名FCC官员告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,该命令与该机构对迪士尼多元化、公平性和包容性举措的调查有关,该官员称这项调查自2025年3月起一直在进行。
迪士尼在给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的一份声明中表示,已收到FCC关于加速审查其旗下ABC-owned电视台的命令。
“美国广播公司及其旗下电视台长期以来始终严格遵守FCC规定,为当地社区提供值得信赖的新闻、应急信息和符合公众利益的节目,”迪士尼发言人表示。“我们相信,这份记录能够证明我们继续符合《通信法》和第一修正案对执照持有者的要求,并准备通过适当的法律渠道证明这一点。”
ABC的执照原本计划在2028年至2031年之间续期。该公司旗下拥有八家电视台,包括纽约WABC-TV和洛杉矶KABC-TV。
此次命令发布前,特朗普总统和梅拉尼娅·特朗普曾呼吁ABC解雇深夜脱口秀主持人吉米·坎摩尔,此前他在4月23日的节目中开玩笑称第一夫人“看起来像个待产寡妇”。
在节目中,坎摩尔模拟了即将举行的白宫记者协会晚宴的脱口秀环节,该节目在晚宴举办两天前播出。
晚宴期间,一名据称的枪手在华盛顿特区的宴会厅内枪击了一名特勤局特工,特朗普夫妇当时正在该宴会厅参加活动。事后,第一夫人表示ABC应该“采取行动”解雇坎摩尔。

FCC orders Disney to file for early license renewal after Trump calls for Jimmy Kimmel to be fired
April 28, 2026 / 3:30 PM EDT / CBS News
The Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday said it has ordered the Walt Disney Co. to file for early license renewal applications for its ABC television stations.
The FCC said in its order that it is investigating ABC stations for “possible violations” of the Communications Act of 1934 and the agency’s prohibition on unlawful discrimination.
An FCC official told CBS News that the order is related to the agency’s investigation into Disney’s diversity, equity and inclusion practices, which the official said has been ongoing since March 2025.
In a statement to CBS News, Disney said it has received the FCC’s order for an accelerated review of its ABC-owned television stations.
“ABC and its stations have a long record of operating in full compliance with FCC rules and serving their local communities with trusted news, emergency information, and public‑interest programming,” a Disney spokesperson said. “We are confident that record demonstrates our continued qualifications as licensees under the Communications Act and the First Amendment and are prepared to show that through the appropriate legal channels.”
The ABC licenses were originally scheduled for renewal between 2028 and 2031. The company owns eight television stations, including WABC-TV New York and KABC-TV Los Angeles.
The order comes after President Trump and Melania Trump urged ABC to fire late-night host Jimmy Kimmel after he made a joke during his April 23 show in which he described the first lady as having “the glow of an expectant widow.”
In the show, Kimmel pretended to deliver a comedy routine at the upcoming White House Correspondents’ Dinner. His program aired two days before the event.
In the aftermath of the dinner, in which an alleged gunman shot a Secret Service agent at the Washington, D.C., ballroom where the Trumps had gathered, the first lady said that ABC should “take a stand” against Kimmel.
