ABC Affiliates Push Back Against FCC's Talarico Segment Crackdown, Equal Time Notices Filed
Texas-based ABC affiliates that arent owned by Disney have filed equal time notices as FCC Chairman Brendan Carr cracks down on 'The View' over a segment featuring anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist Robert Talarico. The move comes amid the FCC's enforcement of equal-time rules in response to criticism from conservative groups.
Texas-based ABC affiliates that arent owned by Disney appear to be playing ball with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr over his enforcement of equal-time rules in the controversy surrounding Talarico segment of TV show 'The View.' The move comes as the FCC cracks down on ABC's handling of the issue, which involves a dispute between the network and Republican political commentator Steven Talarico. The affiliates are reportedly filing equal time notices, which require them to air equal segments of opposing viewpoints on their local news programs. This development suggests that the FCC's actions may be prompting changes in how 'The View' is being handled by ABC affiliates nationwide.
