Is the longtime daytime TV chat show airing on the ABC Television Network a program that shouldn’t be exempt from equal time rules because it is a news offering? The Walt Disney Co. in early May emphatically said it is, in a Petition for Declaratory Ruling filed with the FCC that has Anna Gómez’s stamp of approval.
What others have to say on the matter is now being entertained by the FCC, which released late Friday a Public Notice confirming a comment window in response to the ‘PDR’ filed by the parent of the ABC Television Network.
