So the owners of the affiliates pressures ABC on behalf of President Trump?

    Yes, but it was in their own interest. Nexstar is trying to get the FCC to increase the ownership limits to allow them to own 80 stations instead of the 40 now allowed. Also ABC will require FCC and DOJ approval for its purchase of NFL Media and NFL gaining 10% ownership over ESPN. So they didn’t need much pressure.
