ABC on Monday urged federal regulators to stick with a decision their predecessors made two decades ago that called “The View,” the network’s popular talk show, a news program.
The Federal Communications Commission has been investigating whether the show violated rules that require broadcasters to give equal time to political candidates from both parties. At the center of the debate is whether “The View” qualifies as a “bona fide news program,” which would exempt it from those rules.
In a filing to the agency on Monday, the network said that matter was already settled, citing a 2002 decision from the F.C.C. qualifying it for the exemption.
