Trump calls for ABC and NBC to lose their licenses after they skip his speech
- After ABC and NBC declined to carry his primetime election speech live, President Trump said the two networks should lose their broadcast licenses.
- The demand collides with how the system actually works: the FCC licenses individual local stations, not networks, and cannot strip them over editorial choices without running into the First Amendment.
