FCC Reviews ABC’s The View Over Equal Time Compliance

FCC probes ABC’s The View over equal time rules after Texas candidate James Talarico’s appearance, challenging the exemption for daytime talk shows as bona fide news.

  • Following Friday, the Federal Communications Commission opened an investigation into ABC's The View after a report published by Fox News Digital, citing an anonymous source, said so.
  • Because Disney did not file an equal-time notice, the probe follows last month's guidance to enforce the FCC's equal-opportunities requirement, Fox News reported.
  • Under section 315 of the Communications Act, broadcasters must provide equal opportunities when legally qualified candidates appear, affecting more than 200 independently-owned ABC affiliates and ABC's eight local stations.
