AI Summary

ABC has formally requested that the Federal Communications Commission dismiss its “extraordinary and unprecedented” proceeding to call in the Disney‑owned network’s stations for an early broadcast license renewal. The network filed a new response on Thursday, adding veteran litigator Beth Wilkinson to its legal team. Wilkinson has recently joined the representation of Paramount in an antitrust suit brought by state attorneys general. The filing signals ABC’s opposition to the FCC’s early renewal request. No further actions are detailed in the submission.
