The eight stations named in the FCC order are WABC-TV in New York, KABC-TV in Los Angeles, WLS-TV in Chicago, WPVI-TV in Philadelphia, KTRK-TV in Houston, KGO-TV in San Francisco, WTVD in Raleigh-Durham and KFSN-TV in Fresno.

The licenses were not scheduled for renewal until 2028 at the earliest. Legal experts say it is highly unlikely Disney would lose its licenses, as the FCC must demonstrate "intentional and repeated violations" of regulations.
