Didn't this come from Sinclair media, the notoriously right wing, massive media conglomerate?
I'm not sure how it works, and not saying Disney isn't partially to blame.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stations_owned_or_operated_by_Sinclair_Broadcast_Group
Sinclair is the "ABC Affiliate stations".
From Wikipedia (Jimmy Kimmel): On September 17, 2025, ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live indefinitely after Kimmel's remarks regarding the MAGA movement's reaction to the assassination of Charlie Kirk drew threats from FCC chair Brendan Carr and an announcement from station owner Nexstar that its ABC-affiliated stations were dropping the program "for the foreseeable future".[5]
The Trump FCC chair started it by threatening ABC's license as well as licenses of ABC affiliates...Nexstar/Sinclair said they wouldn't broadcast the show, then ABC bowed to pressure and said the show was cancelled indefinitely.
Disney is worth $200+ billion, and if they fought this in court, the first amendment is clearly on their side. But like Paramount before them, they are complying in advance.
Thanks for putting that concisely, my brain isn't working so great this morning
Disney have supported the gop far more than not, i wouldnt hold your breath of them fighting agains tthem. they also started dropping "pro-diversity" stuff from thier shows too.
