FCC Chairman Brendan Carr on Thursday said that Disney has a history of allegedly discriminatory behavior, including hiring, promoting, compensating, and practices based on race, gender, and other protected classes.
Disney-owned ABC on Thursday asked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to renew its licenses for eight broadcast televisions stations; however, it also attacked Carr over alleged free speech issues. Carr initiated the early license renewal process in April, citing Disney’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies. The FCC chairman has spent much of his chairmanship reviewing companies that have “invidious” discriminatory DEI policies.
Carr said in a statement:
The FCC has been investigating Disney for over a year now after reports surfaced alleging that it had been discriminating against people based on race, gender, or other protected characteristics in violation of federal nondiscrimination laws. The allegations include concerns about Disney hiring, promoting, compensating, and providing or denying workplace opportunities based on protected characteristics. Disney only filed these applications to renew their ABC broadcast licenses after the FCC informed the company that their responses to the agency’s investigation had been disingenuous, deficient, and improper. Broadcast licensees have a unique obligation to operate in the public interest. The FCC will follow the facts and law wherever they may lead. [Emphasis added]
