Nexstar joining Sinclair in not showing Kimmel tonight

Good.

Kimmel can choose to apologize & admit to having pushed false info & make the situation better if not whole.

But he’ll be an insufferable cvnt & choose to make Charlie’s murder all about him.

My money is on self immolation.

While in a room full of open gasoline containers.

Situated under a kindergarten.

He will be unapologetic and will quadruple down.

Philosophical question: If you have a network TV show but no affiliates broadcast it, do you still have a TV show?

Depends what the contract says disney can force them to do...

Kimmel’s show will now be airing in basically LA, NYC, Chicago, and other left wing enclaves, I guess. At least Middle America won’t have to watch his terrible schtick anymore.

---

No one was watching this shite to begin with. His ratings for the target demos were abysmally low.

i hope you're getting more than a few pennies from the DU for your quality posts on here at least.

Per Grok:

Nexstar's Share: Nexstar owns or operates 28–32 ABC affiliates (including partners), representing about 10–12% of the ABC network's average viewing audience. This covers key regional markets like Syracuse, NY (top-30 DMA) and Fresno, CA, reaching ~12–15 million households.

Sinclair's Share: Sinclair owns or operates 38 ABC affiliates (the most of any group), representing about 13–15% of the ABC network's average viewing audience. This includes high-impact stations like WJLA in Washington, D.C. (top-10 DMA), reaching ~15–18 million households.

---

So they control, at most, 27% (per Grok) of the potential pool of viewing households.

That is not overwhelming, but it's still 27-33 million households that won't have it broadcast live.

yeah here's the thing jethrine the affiliates own the broadcast licensees. affiliates can and do change network affiliations doesn't happen often but it does happen. this fever dream you have of disney forcing the affiliates to bend a knee "take that maga" aint happening, add a pair of dirty socks and some ayml nitrate and you've got yourself a full blown fetish kid!

disney isn't going to risk losing affiliates over 1 hour of TV that people stopped watching over a decade ago.

Hollywood is incapable of self reflection or self awareness.

Look to Jimmy to apologize when Keith Olbermann or Cathy Griffin admit they were wrong.

So in Louisiana:
