ABC is airing a new public campaign urging viewers to contact the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in support of “The View” and ABC’s local stations. Multiple outlets report that the advertisements are running during “The View” and across ABC’s owned-and-operated or affiliated stations, with some coverage noting that the spots are connected to a review by the FCC of the show’s licensing or programming status. The campaign frames the FCC’s actions as affecting whether “The View” qualifies as a bona fide news program, and it also references FCC-related license renewal timing requests described by ABC. Several sources say the ads ask viewers to provide input through the FCC as the network and parent company, The Walt Disney Co., challenge the FCC’s approach. One outlet also describes the effort as a response to an FCC investigation and includes messaging that viewers should influence decisions affecting the show. Overall, sources agree the campaign is intended to mobilize public comment while ABC disputes the FCC’s review and related equal time or broadcast-licensing issues.
