As Disney faces an investigation from the FCC regarding its DEI policies, questions arise on how these align with equal employment opportunity regulations.
This investigation, led by FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, targets Disney and its subsidiary ABC amidst ongoing scrutiny from conservative circles over alleged reverse discrimination.
Carr spearheaded this inquiry, ensuring that Disney is adhering to equal employment opportunity standards.
Carr expressed doubts about Disney’s compliance, citing ongoing concerns despite the company’s rollback of some DEI policies.
Disney, under pressure, acknowledged receipt of Carr’s letter and promised to cooperate with the FCC to address the concerns presented.
The media giant is already adapting its policies, fueled by criticism from conservative sectors and facing possible regulatory hurdles.
According to a company spokesperson, Disney is committed to engagement with the commission to clarify its stance and make necessary adjustments.
“The Federal Communications Commission has launched an investigation into Walt Disney Co. and its broadcast subsidiary ABC over the company’s diversity, equity and inclusion programs, Chairman Brendan Carr said Friday,” reports The Los Angeles Times.
This investigation mirrors a prior probe into Comcast Corp’s similar initiatives, marking Disney as the second media titan facing FCC scrutiny for potentially discriminatory DEI practices.
Carr has previously indicated his intention to impede mergers over corporate policies, reflecting his serious stance on the “woke” DEI transformations.
Disney, however, notes its recently altered DEI approaches that some critics argue affect their core programming and box office outcomes.
The inquiry comes in the wake of Disney’s “Reimagine Tomorrow” initiative, requiring half of its characters and production teams to consist of underrepresented groups.
Carr’s concerns about racially-segregated affinity groups and mandatory quotas portray a conflict between corporate DEI agendas and regulatory compliance.
I have asked the @FCC’s Enforcement Bureau to open an investigation into Disney & ABC.
While Disney started as an iconic American company, it recently went all in on DEI.

Such standards stand accused of hampering Disney’s performance metrics and alienating traditional audiences.
“As you know, Disney started out a century ago as an iconic American company. For decades, Disney focused on churning out box office and programming successes. But then something changed. Disney now has been embroiled in rounds of controversy surrounding its DEI policies,” Carr pointed out, cited by Forbes.
Moving forward, the results of this investigation could set precedents for other companies grappling with similar issues.
