Trump Urges FCC to Revoke Broadcast Licenses Over Kimmel

President Trump publicly called on the FCC to consider revoking broadcast licenses of ABC affiliates in response to Jimmy Kimmel Live programming, a day after ABC suspended the show. Trump posted on Truth Social that broadcasters who air content critical of his administration should face license consequences, citing undefined public interest obligations. The statement escalated the FCC pressure campaign into an explicit presidential demand and drew First Amendment condemnation from media law scholars.
