'They never really cared about free speech': Swisher on Kimmel's pull 'indefinitely' from air - CNN AC360

The abrupt announcement came Wednesday evening after at least one major operator of ABC-affiliated stations said it would not broadcast the show “for the foreseeable future.” The operator, Nexstar, said it “strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets.” - Aired on 09/17/2025.
