After celebrating the suspension of the show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on September 17, Donald Trump once again threatened U.S. TV networks, suggesting that their broadcast licenses should be revoked.

“I mean, they’re getting a license. I think maybe their license should be taken away. That will be up to Brendan Carr,” Donald Trump said.
Carr is chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and threatened stations that aired the episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in which the host made critical comments about Charlie Kirk.
“We reached new heights of decadence over the weekend, with the MAGA gang desperately trying to portray that kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of their own,” Kimmel said.
Donald Trump commented on the situation on September 18 during a press conference with reporters while returning from the United Kingdom.
On August 24, on his Truth Social profile, the U.S. president said that ABC and NBC should lose their licenses “for their unfair coverage of Republicans and/or conservatives.”
National television networks such as ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox do not receive licenses from the FCC. Instead, the FCC issues licenses to individual local affiliates, authorizing stations to use the public airwaves.
Internet users commented on Donald Trump’s attacks on U.S. talk shows.
“America is turning into North Korea. This is government censorship. I thought Republicans cared about freedom and the First Amendment,” one of them criticized.
