Disney-owned ABC on Monday said it was launching an on-air campaign encouraging viewers to show support for the network ⁠in its two ongoing battles with the U.S. ⁠government.

The Federal Communications Commission in April ordered ABC to file early license review for its eight company-owned television stations after President ⁠Donald Trump pressured ⁠the regulatory agency to ⁠take ⁠action.

The FCC is also investigating ABC daytime talk show "The View" after declaring it is subject to federal equal time rules for political candidates.
