The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ordered an early review of license renewals for Disney’s ABC television stations.

The April 28 order is part of the FCC’s ongoing investigation into whether the company and its television stations are following the federal Communications Act of 1934 and the FCC’s rules, including a prohibition on unlawful discrimination, the agency said.
