The FCC said the reviews, which were not supposed to begin until October 2028, were prompted by a year-long probe on the FCC's ban on unlawful discrimination. The FCC ordered Disney to file its applications for renewals by May 28. The stations are located in Fresno, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, New York, Philadelphia, Houston and Durham, North Carolina.
