The ABC Affiliates That Fired Kimmel
Segment #604
Extensive reporting now reveals that Kimmel when asked by Bob Igor of ABC totally refused to apologize for his Kirk remarks. This was not even close to a First Amendment issue. It was a business decision made after an employee went rogue. Kimmel was ordered to back off and he didn’t. Remember this is a taped program so ABC knew they had responsibility putting more pressure on them and the afiliates to rein in Kimmel and make him apologize. Kimmel is in a very bad place. Jimmy the timeline proves you were lying and knew it when you said the shooter was MAGA
And for all the misinformed, lying, sycophantic talking heads calling this censorship and an attack on free speech. PROVE ME WRONG.

Sinclair Broadcast Group and Nexstar Media Group, two of the largest owners of ABC-affiliated television stations, have pulled "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" from their broadcasts.1 The decision came after Jimmy Kimmel made remarks about the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Here's a summary of the situation:
Kimmel's Comments: During his monologue, Kimmel criticized what he called the "MAGA gang" for "desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them" and for "capitalizing on the murder" to score political points.3 He also mocked President Trump's and Vice President J.D. Vance's responses to Kirk's death.4
Broadcasters' Response: Sinclair and Nexstar stated that Kimmel's comments were "offensive and insensitive."5 Nexstar said it did not believe the comments reflected the values of the communities they serve.6 Sinclair went further, calling on Kimmel to apologize to Kirk's family and make a donation to them and to Turning Point USA, the organization Kirk founded.7
ABC's Action: Following the decisions by Sinclair and Nexstar, ABC announced that "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" would be "pre-empted indefinitely."
