华盛顿9月10日路透电——美国广播公司深夜脱口秀主持人吉米·坎摩尔表示，周四对民主党参议院候选人詹姆斯·塔拉里科的采访将在YouTube上播出，而非在美国广播公司的电视时段播出，他援引了美国联邦通信委员会（FCC）的威胁作为理由。
今年1月，由共和党主导的联邦通信委员会表示，日间和深夜电视脱口秀不再被视为“真正的”新闻节目，不再享有免于公平时间规则的豁免权。公平时间规则要求节目为对立候选人提供播出时段。

坎摩尔指出，数十年来，脱口秀节目可以自由采访政治候选人，不受这些规则约束。
塔拉里科正在得克萨斯州参选，对阵共和党籍州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿，这场竞选可能决定11月美国参议院的控制权归属。
坎摩尔提到，他曾在2016年采访过当时作为候选人的美国总统唐纳德·特朗普。
“如今他身为总统，他领导的联邦通信委员会威胁了我、我们的节目、我们的东家美国广播公司、我们的附属台和地方电视台，仅仅因为我们做出了传统的编辑决策——也就是他们似乎不喜欢的嘉宾邀约安排，”坎摩尔在周三的节目中说道。

美国广播公司拒绝置评。联邦通信委员会未立即回应置评请求。
联邦通信委员会主席布伦丹·卡尔于4月下令提前审查迪士尼旗下的八家自有ABC电视台，尽管这些电视台的执照续期原定于2028年10月才会被审议。今年4月之前，联邦通信委员会已有50多年没有下令过提前审查。
就在特朗普敦促美国广播公司解雇坎摩尔的次日，委员会下达了审查令。迪士尼于8月提起诉讼，要求阻止提前审查，称特朗普试图因节目内容惩罚该电视台。
联邦通信委员会还在调查ABC日间脱口秀《观点》，该节目讨论美国政治。委员会此前判定该节目受公平时间规则约束，因其在1月采访过塔拉里科。迪士尼表示，自2月以来，该节目未邀请任何政治嘉宾出镜，并称此举是为了应对联邦通信委员会的“施压运动”。
今年2月，前CBS深夜脱口秀主持人斯蒂芬·科伯特表示，该电视台的律师禁止他在自己的节目中播出对塔拉里科的采访，转而在YouTube上发布，该采访的观看量已超过950万次。
特朗普多次敦促广播公司停播他不喜欢的喜剧或新闻节目，或是那些调侃或批评他及其政府的节目。他还呼吁联邦通信委员会在批评新闻及其他节目后撤销电视台的执照。
广播电视台使用公共频段需要获得联邦通信委员会的执照。尽管吊销执照的情况极为罕见，但批评人士表示，失去执照的威胁会向广播公司施压，引发人们对政府干预编辑和节目决策的担忧。各电视台在节目选择上享有广泛的第一修正案保护。

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel says interview with Senate candidate Talarico will not air on network

WASHINGTON, Sept 10 (Reuters) – ABC late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel said an interview with Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico on Thursday will air on YouTube and not during the network broadcast, citing threats from the Federal Communications Commission.
In January, the Republican-led FCC said that daytime and late-night TV talk shows are no longer considered “bona fide” news programs that are exempt from equal time rules that require them to give airtime to opposing candidates.

Kimmel noted that for decades talk shows have been free to interview political candidates without being subject to those rules.
Talarico is running in Texas against Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton in a race that could decide control of the U.S. Senate in November.
Kimmel noted that he had previously interviewed U.S. President Donald Trump as a candidate in 2016.
“Now that he is president, his FCC threatened me, threatened our show, threatened our network ABC, our affiliates, our local stations, based on simple traditional editorial decisions – guest bookings it would seem they don’t like,” Kimmel said on Wednesday’s broadcast.

ABC declined to comment. The FCC did not immediately comment.
FCC Chair Brendan Carr ordered early reviews in April of Disney’s eight company-owned ABC stations, even though the license renewals were not scheduled to be considered before October 2028. The FCC had not ordered an early review in more than 50 years before April.
The reviews were ordered a day after Trump urged ABC to fire Kimmel. Disney filed suit to block the early reviews in August, saying Trump is trying to punish the network over its content.
The FCC is also investigating ABC daytime talk show “The View,” which discusses U.S. politics, after saying it is subject to the equal time rules following an interview with Talarico in January. Disney said that since February the program has not invited any political candidates to appear, citing the FCC’s “pressure campaign.”
In February, former CBS late-night host Stephen Colbert said the network’s lawyers barred him from airing an interview with Talarico on his show and instead aired it on YouTube, where it has been seen more than 9.5 million times.
Trump has repeatedly urged broadcasters to drop comedy or news programs he dislikes, or which have joked about or criticized him or his administration. He has also called on the FCC to strip stations of licenses after criticizing news and other programming.
Broadcast stations need FCC licenses to use public airwaves. While license revocations are extremely rare, critics say the threat of losing a license can pressure broadcasters and raise concerns about government interference in editorial and programming decisions. Networks have broad First Amendment protections over programming choices.
