        Wow!! I wasn't expecting that! I wonder how many affiliates will air something else in that time slot.

        From that CNN article:

        His show employs between 200 and 250 people.

        Yep, that's the other thing that didn't get much attention, and that I didn't think of either. Good luck to them all!

          LATimes has a good overview of the Kimmel story:

            @wtg It was a good monologue. Glad to see he's still pulling punches.

                Our ABC affiliate is a Sinclair station, so it was pre-empted here. I don’t actually watch TV, so I watched the monologue on YouTube. Glad he’s back.

                    Besides all the other reasons this is problematic, doesn't the leader of a massive country have more important things to be doing with his time???

                        @Bernard

                        From the article:

                        “There is a credible basis to suspect that the Board and executives may have breached their fiduciary duties of loyalty, care and good faith by placing improper political or affiliate considerations above the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.”

                        I mean, ok, good, go after it from that angle if that seems like it makes it do-able I guess, but I hope they continue hammering home that the real problem is the threat to free speech.

                          Sinclair brings Kimmel back.

                          Sinclair said Friday it had proposed measures to “strengthen accountability, viewer feedback, and community dialogue” at ABC and its affiliates.

                          “While ABC and Disney have not yet adopted these measures, and Sinclair respects their right to make those decisions under our network affiliate agreements, we believe such measures could strengthen trust and accountability,” it said.

                          Kimmel’s suspension last week came shortly after Nexstar announced it would not air the program in light of the host’s comments. Sinclair soon after said it would likewise preempt the program.

                          Those announcements followed comments from Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr that suggested ABC affiliate stations could be at risk of losing broadcast station licenses over Kimmel’s remarks, which came during a show monologue.

                          The series of events raised questions about influence by the Trump administration on the media and First Amendment protections.

                          “Our decision to preempt this program was independent of any government interaction or influence,” Sinclair said Friday. “Free speech provides broadcasters with the right to exercise judgment as to the content on their local stations. 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.”

                            @wtg said in Now Jimmy Kimmel:

                            Wonder what that means in practice. (probably not much....)

                            @wtg said in Now Jimmy Kimmel:

                            I call BS on that one.
