Nexstar Media Group joined Sinclair Broadcast Group and announced it will not air ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ after ABC caved.
According to Fox News, Nexstar owns 32 ABC affiliate stations and Sinclair operates 30.
Sinclair Broadcast Group on Monday evening announced they won’t broadcast Jimmy Kimmel Live! across its ABC affiliate stations after ABC caved.
Earlier Monday, ABC announced Jimmy Kimmel would be returning to the airwaves just six days after suspending him for lying about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated at an event at Utah Valley University earlier this month.
Jimmy Kimmel lied to millions of people and claimed Kirk was assassinated by a MAGA conservative.
Charlie Kirk was gunned down by a far-left, pro-transgender radical who hated him for his conservative political views.
The assassin, Tyler Robinson, lived with his transgender lover and said that if he had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, he would.
Nexstar said they stand behind their previous decision to preempt Jimmy Kimmel’s show.
Fox News reported:
Nexstar Media Group, Inc., announced on Tuesday that it will continue to preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” despite Disney allowing the show to return to ABC.
“We made a decision last week to preempt ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ following what ABC referred to as Mr. Kimmel’s ‘ill-timed and insensitive’ comments at a critical time in our national discourse. We stand by that decision pending assurance that all parties are committed to fostering an environment of respectful, constructive dialogue in the markets we serve,” the company said in a statement.
“In the meantime, we note that ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ will be available nationwide on multiple Disney-owned streaming products, while our stations will focus on continuing to produce local news and other programming relevant to their respective markets,” Nexstar added.
