There Goes the Jimmy Kimmel Boycott: Nexstar, Sinclair Fold as Late Night Show Returns [View all]
The local TV station boycott of ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! appears to be ending.
Sinclair and Nexstar each said that they would end preemption of the late night show Friday night.
Sinclair said it made the decision after “thoughtful feedback from viewers, advertisers, and community leaders representing a wide range of perspectives.”
That said, while Sinclair appears to have been seeking notable concessions (including an ombudsman at ABC), a source says that no editorial or content concessions were made by Disney.
