https://www.politico.com/news/2025/09/26/jimmy-kimmel-sinclair-blackout-00582739Sinclair Broadcasting Group will resume airing “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Friday, it announced in a statement, returning the late-night show to its local ABC affiliates after the broadcaster preempted the program after it returned for much of the rest of the country.Kimmel’s show was yanked off the air by ABC last week after the comedian faced criticism for his comments about Charlie Kirk’s killings, including pressure from FCC Chair Brendan Carr. He returned to air earlier this week, but Sinclair and another affiliate owner, Nexstar, continued to preempt his program.In the statement, Sinclair said its decision to preempt Kimmel’s show was “independent of any government interaction or influence.”“Free speech provides broadcasters with the right to exercise judgment as to the content on their local stations,” the company wrote. “While we understand that not everyone will agree with our decisions about programming, it is simply inconsistent to champion free speech while demanding that broadcasters air specific content.”Sinclair’s decision last week effectively pulled Kimmel’s show from its nearly 40 ABC affiliates, including one that serves Washington. Nexstar did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday on if it too will restore Kimmel’s programming.“Over the last week, we have received thoughtful feedback from viewers, advertisers, and community leaders representing a wide range of perspectives,” the statement continues. “We have also witnessed troubling acts of violence, including the despicable incident of a shooting at an ABC affiliate station in Sacramento. These events underscore why responsible broadcasting matters and why respectful dialogue between differing voices remains so important.”
it's pretty weird waking up with a fascist felonious pedophile in office day after day

>>1442479The dividends are up so thats good
>>1442493>The dividends are up so thats goodlol get a load of this clown.
It's based and red-pilled of Sinclair to say Charlie Kirk deserved to die like that.
Called it a week ago. Not news. No one cares. Stop spamming and post something interesting.
>>1442533>everything I don't like is spam
milquetoast kimmel is too spicy even for Trump
>>1442545This is extremely dangerous to our democracy. - Sinclair “Sinclair makes dozens read same script.” - Kimmel/Oliver/Myers/Fallon/ all the other chucklefuck clones as well as /CNN/NYT/MSNBC and the rest of the usual suspects of disinformation and they unironically quoted that same quote, on the same day.Media independence is as dead as functional literacy and comprehension.
>>1442561Holy shit. That was Sinclair who made hundreds of newscasters say that famous quote? I honestly don't keep track of who owns what media business is. I really wouldn't know
>>1442562Yea that’s Sinclair. The problem child. Now pairing up with the other problem children who brought us the term“Safe and Effective.” Because apparently Alex saying atrazine causes amphibians to change primary and secondary sexual traits and characteristics was disinformation, misinformation and malinformation. And grounds to destroy free information. And now I’m problematic for not wanting to trade the lord of war himself, for Britney Grindr. While we support the current thing harder than ever. You are like a child. You will cuddle a swan, to death by strangulation. Without even connecting that your selfish desire caused the death. You will then carry the corpse around wailing at the world for its cruelty to you. Hysterically unaware that you brought it all upon yourself. Verification-2HRGAY lol
