"Sinclair has agreed to stop preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live!, allowing the show to resume airing on its ABC affiliates. Jimmy Kimmel's late night show was indefinitely suspended by ABC after comments the comedian made about Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old charged with the murder of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. We hit some new lows over the weekend, with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered"
"President Donald Trump and other Republicans lauded the suspension while Kimmel's supporters denounced it as censorship, since it came in the aftermath of vociferous criticism from the president and comments from his Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr that his agency can do this the easy way or the hard way if companies don't find ways to change conduct and take action."
Sinclair and other broadcasters initially preempted Jimmy Kimmel Live! after ABC suspended the show over comments Kimmel made about Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old charged with murdering Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. President Donald Trump and other Republicans praised the suspension while supporters called it censorship, amid public comments from FCC Chair Brendan Carr about regulatory pressure. Disney reinstated the show after thoughtful conversations with Kimmel, but Nexstar and Sinclair initially refused to air it on their ABC affiliates. Kimmel's first broadcast back drew about 6.3 million television viewers and more than 25 million online views. Sinclair later announced it would end the preemption.
