ABC Cancels Jimmy Kimmel’s Show Indefinitely After Kimmel Lied About Charlie Kirk’s Assassin Being a MAGA Conservative

Nexstar says no Kimmel.

Not a big surprise since Nexstar/Tegna merger/buyout will require FCC to change their station ownership regulations. Thus Nexstar is more than willing to comply with Brendan Carr's threats, uh, suggestions.

The FCC's 39% rule is a regulation that limits a single entity from owning TV stations that collectively reach more than 39% of U.S. television households, aiming to prevent media dominance.

If the Nexstar/Tegna deal is completed, the combined company will have a total of 265 television stations in 44 states and the District of Columbia, representing 80% of U.S. television households.

I can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his “talent” was never there. Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who’s not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE. He is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution. I think we’re going to test ABC out on this. Let’s see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings.

More projection since your boy txdot is getting schooled on reality. Again. And yet more pathetic insults to cover your utter lack of any sort of argument. And to embarrass you even more, the FCC doesn't arrest people. And they don't have to give you fines or warnings before punishing you to the fullest extent. And Sinclair won't air your liar's show until he apologizes for LYING. The FCC made NO threats about anything. Or you goofs would have posted links to said threats hy now.

if you say so


in other news ..


Kimmel’s show to return Tuesday, but Sinclair will continue preemption

https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/22/enter...x-newtab-en-us


if Sinclair was worried about mergers and the FCC why would they continue to not broadcast his show? in 38 markets in the US. it is ABC's call to put him back on the air. Sinclair can still refuse until Kimmel meets their demands and one is Kimmel must make a public apology.


remember valued posters Kimmel got himself in this mess and it's his ass got to get out of it.


here is what's gonna happen tomorrow and i might watch it for the amusement. ABC and Kimmel have talked and agree he'll make some sort of apology "good intend bad phrasing" type statement. ABC wouldn't be letting him back without it at this point. Book it, Dano!


or Kimmel can go rouge nuclear and triple down and take his 50 million and go away.

That just might be something that made them change their minds. I'd discount that little tidbid of what heated the google searchbar to a redhot hue.

You gotta help me/us out here. Could you specifically quote the apology old jimmy gave. I seemed to have missed the groveling to the melange one.

And valued posters will recognize the problem that jimmy has illuminated. There is an issue with big networks (I did not anything about the news departments here) and that is they are like donny: they showed they placed a higher value to the almighty dollar than they do the 2nd Amendment. That is the mess Jimmy exposed.

So again, can you post that apology for us. I seemed to have missed it.

...or did he go rogue? I guess we'll find out tonight if he is on air.

But now Kimmel is back?

I am hearing that many affiliated stations still will not broadcast his show though.

this is not over yet. Originally Posted by ICU 812

“There is a credible basis to suspect that the Board and executives may have breached their fiduciary duties of loyalty, care, and good faith by placing improper political or affiliate considerations above the best interests of the Company and its stockholders,”
Oh, it was all a joke. Carr was just foolin' around...Vance says so.

Well, compare that—the FCC commissioner making a joke on social media.
