    ABC is a network that doesn’t have an FCC license. Each individual local station is an FCC licensee. They’re the ones that are responsible for the content they air.

      Mostly true. ABC network does own licenses in some markets.

      Trump or any other political figure can’t just pull a license for no reason though. FCC is pretty good about that

        Trump has repeatedly shown he can and will ignore all the rules restricting him. Furthermore he’d have immunity for official acts. So firing everyone until someone agrees to just pull the licenses of any station named ABC is right up his alley and possible now.
