A lawsuit has been filed by ABC against the Federal Communications Commission and its Chair Brendan Carr. The lawsuit is in response to an effort to require certain ABC-owned broadcast stations to submit to license renewals ahead of schedule.

The stations in question include those in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, among others. A total of eight stations are affected by the FCC's effort.

Further details about the lawsuit and the FCC's actions are available from the source, which reports on the development as a significant move by ABC to push back against the regulatory body.
