1. Yes but it may represent a distinction without a difference given local networks were rebelling...

and their licenses COULD be at risk...

ABC needs to join CBS and NBC and take this all the way through the courts to SCOTUS

Yes but it may represent a distinction without a difference given local networks were rebelling... hlthe2b Sep 2025 #1
There's a huge difference. Wiz Imp Sep 2025 #10
Not in ultimate outcome....And that is what this corrupt as hell FCC head is counting on. hlthe2b Sep 2025 #17
you're just a fountain of knowledge CatWoman Sep 2025 #2

It does for the 8 tv stations it owns outright. Sneederbunk Sep 2025 #3
You are exactly right that networks are not licensed. rsdsharp Sep 2025 #4
Pedantically true but misleading. DISNEY directly owns eight stations, mostly in major markets. RockRaven Sep 2025 #6
CBS owns 15, NBC owns 12. LeftInTX Sep 2025 #7
Exactly. KABC TV in LA is owned by ABC/Disney. LA is a huge TV market. SunSeeker Sep 2025 #14
Yes, but many OTA ABC-affiliated stations are owned by Disney and Sinclair. PSPS Sep 2025 #8
Um, Disney/ABC owns just 8 stations Wiz Imp Sep 2025 #11
The affiliate stations ABC/Disney owns are major stations in huge markets, like KABC TV in here in Los Angeles. SunSeeker Sep 2025 #15
Sinclair squealed the loudest PSPS Sep 2025 #18
Sinclair owns just 38 ABC stations that represents just 15% of ABC's total affiliates Wiz Imp Sep 2025 #20
Hardly PSPS Sep 2025 #21
Hardly yourself. Sinclair's AC stations are almost all in very small media markets Wiz Imp Sep 2025 #22
He's going to get away with everything he wants. usonian Sep 2025 #9
I remember when Michael Richards was pretty much blacklisted after making racist comments in 2006 at a comedy club MichMan Sep 2025 #12
The government did not pressure that he be blacklisted. Huge difference. SunSeeker Sep 2025 #13
Those comments were outrageous. usonian Sep 2025 #16
The networks do directly own several stations each, in the largest markets, so it does matter themaguffin Sep 2025 #19
