WASHINGTON, D.C.—In response to petitions asking the FCC to deny the license renewal of WTXF-TV by Fox Television Stations, Fox has filed a brief with the FCC saying that any attempt to stop the license renewal would be “in violation of the First Amendment and the authority delegated to the Commission by Congress.”
Fox is facing a license renewal challenge for WTXF-TV in Philadelphia from the Media and Democracy Project and other critics of Fox News, which is owned by Fox Corporation, the parent company of both the cable news network and Fox's broadcast stations.
