Is a live, one-hour talk show created by legendary journalist Barbara Walters and
television producer William Geddie a bona fide news program broadcasting under an exemption from equal time considerations granted to the program more than two decades ago?

The Walt Disney Co. owned network steadfastly stands by its beliefs “The View” is a news program, and pled its case to the Commission in a Petition for Declaratory Ruling getting the support of Democratic Commissioner Anna M. Gómez.
