Words have consequences, Jimmy "Hate Monger" Kimmel is KAPUT!

And just like that, Sinclair has ended its boycott

But they are hoping the show can become more genial.

We'll see attention whores dont like losing attention.

Sinclair executives justifiably afraid of getting shot.

Nexstar has ended its boycott as well. Let's be honest. Their advertisers were screaming bloody murder at them.

They had to make a business decision and they made a reasonable one

Nah. Bob Iger got Kimmel back on air. money wasn't an issue yet. it would have been if this lingered.


affiliates can decline content from ABC. it's their right per their agreement with ABC. ABC on the other hand can deny content to affiliates and Iger knows this.


what broke the standoff is Iger saying "Ok, don't carry Kimmel. we won't let you broadcast Monday Night Football."


this article was posted yesterday so today it's a day late ... but it outlines that ABC had the upper hand because Nexstar and Sinclair don't produce any independent content they are dependent on ABC for their slate of shows.


Here’s where Bob Iger’s ‘Jimmy Kimmel’ standoff with Nexstar, Sinclair is headed — and why nobody is joking

... Glad Kimmel's gonna be still on... So his LACK of VIEWSHIP
will be MAGNIFIED now! ... There's some viewers now, even Repubs.

But where will his viewership be a month from now?
STILL drawing anybody or back in the shithouse...

... Surely cannot wait to see! ...

And another reason, the best entertainment in this country is NOT coming from ABC, NBC, and CBS anymore.

Bottom line, Kimmel may turn a profit, but, he isn't a comedian now.

He is a hater, and hatred is not funny.

Entertaining to those who agree with them, but that market is only getting smaller.

Long term, he's going to fail.

Oh he's absolutely still a comedian and plenty funny.
