In reply to the discussion: Disney says 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' will return to ABC on Tuesday [View all]Karma13612
(4,815 posts)101. BUT!
(And this is where I truly hate how legacy network television is set up. )
The Sinclair Affiliate Network stations are Pre-empting his show anyway. Not sure about Nexstar.
So, there are still millions who are going to be blocked from seeing his show.
Absolutely despise the whole affiliate framework. It smacks of control. ABC (or any of the other 3) have a great show, but some conservative tightass in xyz market in outpost, MO decides they wont air the show. So, iron curtain crap.

Their bottom line must have been tanking between the public dropping them and boycotting their sponsors.

Wouldn't it be funny if he agreed to tone it down, but triples down in his monologue with a hardcore anti-MAGA rant?

This is really good news for a lot of reasons. This could not have happened in Hungary or Russia. It thwarts the efforts

Correct. Nothing in that comment linked the alleged killer to Trump or the MAGA movement.
