Jimmy Kimmel may be returning to his late-night show on Tuesday,
00:03
but the program will not air on 66 ABC stations across the U.S.,
00:08
as Sinclair Broadcast Group and Nextstar both say they will preempt the show.
00:13
Sinclair said in a statement on Monday,
00:16
Beginning Tuesday night, Sinclair will be preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live across our ABC
00:20
affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming. Discussions with ABC are ongoing
00:25
as we evaluate the show's potential return. And Nextstar said in its own statement on
00:29
Tuesday, We made a decision last week to preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live following what ABC referred
00:34
to as Mr. Kimmel's ill-timed and insensitive comments at a critical time in our national
00:39
discourse. We stand by that decision pending assurance that all parties are committed to
00:44
fostering an environment of respectful, constructive dialogue in the markets we serve.
00:49
The statement continued, In the meantime, we note that Jimmy Kimmel Live will be available
00:52
nationwide on multiple Disney-owned streaming products, while our stations will focus on
00:57
continuing to produce local news and other programming relevant to their respective markets.
01:02
The Walt Disney Company said Monday that Kimmel would return to the air after his nearly week-long
01:06
suspension. Nextstar, it should be noted, has a $6 billion-plus deal pending before the FCC to
01:12
acquire Tegna, an agreement that would make it by far the largest owner of local TV stations in the
01:17
country. Sinclair has also expressed a desire to pursue mergers and acquisitions, which would also
01:22
require FCC approval. For more on this story, go to THR.com. This is The Hollywood Reporter News.
