ABC fights back against FCC regulators in dispute over ‘The View’ and equal time rules
ABC says more than 76,000 commenters support The View’s editorial independence as the FCC weighs whether the show must follow equal-time rules.
- ABC is defending 'The View' against an FCC investigation examining if the show qualifies as a 'bona fide' news program under equal time rules.
- The FCC began probing 'The View' over concerns about equal treatment of political candidates in competitive races.
