Disney wants to bring another element into its ongoing squabble with the Federal Communications Commission: its fans.

In a new campaign that launched Monday, the entertainment conglomerate urged the audience tuning into “The View” to offer public comment as the company grapples with unorthodox pressure from the Trump administration. The Federal Communications Commission, led by Chairman Brendan Carr, ordered Disney to file for renewals for eight of its stations years ahead of schedule. In filings, Disney has said its applications were made “under protest in response to an unlawful, arbitrary, and unconstitutional order.”
