The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is investigating whether ABC’s daytime talk show “The View” violated federal “equal time” requirements for political candidates, Chairman Brendan Carr said Feb. 19.

“The FCC has an enforcement action underway on that,” Carr told reporters following the agency’s monthly meeting when asked about a potential probe into the program. “And we’re taking a look at it.”
