“Kimmel is back on ABC to big ratings”

WOW!!! 26 million watched to see him grovel and just got more asinine lies.
26 million is nearly four times more Americans than watched Trump’s parade, and “grovel” is hardly what Kimmel did:

“He (Trump) tried his best to cancel me, instead, he forced millions of people to watch the show. That backfired bigly. He might have to release the Epstein files to distract us from this now.”

Another bald-faced lie. But brainless halfwit leftists like you seem to enjoy being lied to and gaslighted. :palm:

Blatant lie.
and “grovel” is hardly what Kimmel did:
It's exactly what he did, and he did it badly. Just crocodile tears.
“He (Trump) tried his best to cancel me,
Trump didn't cancel Kimmel.
instead, he forced millions of people to watch the show.
What show? Kimmel is off the air.
That backfired bigly. He might have to release the Epstein files to distract us from this now.”
What Epstein files? Why are you idiots fixated on 'files' that don't exist?
 
The bigger question is will Trump back down or follow up on the threats.

This is not about Kimmel’s ratings.
Will Trump do anything about Watters on FOX calling for the UN to get bombed?
Probably not, He is a right winger and they can't do no wrong , can they MAGAS?
 
Big numbers on the first night back aren’t surprising. The bigger question is whether he can sustain it. Does he draw in new viewers who weren’t watching late night before, or just shuffle Colbert and Fallon viewers over to him?
As a somewhat side note, what is your opinion of CA's new SB 771? It seems to be a bit harsh to allow the state to pick and choose what they deem to be hate speech.

True, but 26 million is an impressive number, nearly four times the number that watched Trump’s parade which was shown live

He’ll probably return to his usual million and half audience, plus the millions who watch the next day online, all of which easily beat whatever substitute programming Newstar or Sinclair will offer in place of Kimmel
Understood about the numbers but ratings aren’t the only factor. Networks also look at cost. Kimmel’s salary compared to cheaper substitute programming matters, as do things like ad revenue, how much online engagement it gets, and how a show supports the rest of the lineup.

I know nothing about late night TV, but that's what I've picked up on reading about it.

On the surface it sounds admirable 'let's stop online harm', but the devil is always in the details. This will very much be challenged on free speech grounds. The way it's written leaves a lot of discretion to the regulators, and we know how that often turns out.
 
“It got a large audience, nearly 6.3 million people tuned in to the broadcast alone, despite the blackouts in many cities. As is often the case with late-night hosts’ monologues, there was a larger audience online, with more than 15 million people watching Kimmel’s opening remarks on YouTube by Wednesday evening, more than 26 million people watched Kimmel’s return on social media, including YouTube.


Without Nextstar and Sinclair, wonder how they did for the 11:30-12:30 time slot showing reruns
Back in the day, ABC under the leadership of Fred Silverman, took bold steps to showcase a little unknown called 3's Company. All the bible toting hypocrites had a fit over a gay guy living with 2 sexually provocative females and urged advertisers to pull their support....ONLY ONE COMPANY ABLIGED....SEARS. Although it took a minute, but Sears not only lost customers, they lost their fuckin company!!!

What’s to know, it ain’t Carson or Letterman, and probably more edgy, but basically the same, monologue, and guests usually promoting something, pretty much as always. Audience isn’t what it used to be given the time period and the unlimited options people have for viewing anything. Kimmel has his own niche, quick witted, and I’d wager probably a millennial following, especially on the internet

Especially allowing the State to hane the decisions at their discretion.

I guess my point behind about not knowing much about late night TV wasn’t real clear. I meant from an economic perspective in terms of the cost of production and how much additional revenue is generated beyond just the viewers watching live and how the stations value that.

Certainly not an expert, or even an amateur, but on network TV nothing is cheap, and I’d suppose with late night TV even breaking even is an accomplishment. Kimmel’s value is what he offers on digital platforms and his name recognition for ABC

Keep in mind, showing Family Feud reruns late night’s isn’t going to make any network or affiliates money, and even with the “hard way” the affiliates are going to want to keep close with Disney knowing college football and major sports events are on that Network and ESPN

Speaking of which, Illinois lost their QB this week, getting rosier for your Trojans
