Sinclair is, apparently, not interested in continuing to lose money to hear the tragically unfunny Kimmel ranting about Pres. Trump.


Sinclair has the largest number of affiliate stations....more revenue loss for ABC over the waning Kimmel...




Sinclair ABC stations won’t air ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ despite return to network​


Sinclair Broadcast Group revealed that it won’t air “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on its ABC affiliate stations –despite Disney’s decision to bring back the late-night talk show beginning Tuesday.

“Beginning Tuesday night, Sinclair will be preempting ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!‘ across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming,” Sinclair, which has the nation’s largest number of the network’s affiliate stations, posted on X on Monday.

Sinclair had previously called on the talk show host to issue a “direct apology” to the Kirk family and make a donation to Turning Point USA, the conservative nonprofit co-founded by Kirk.

“Mr. Kimmel’s remarks were inappropriate and deeply insensitive at a critical moment for our country,” Vice Chairman Jason Smith said in a statement after Kimmel’s axing last week.

Right-wing censorship is alive and well. The Trumpys are pleased with that. The wealthy will define our rights, not the Constitution. Trumpys will be pleased.

They are mostly located in the Northeast. I wonder if this is a wise decision?

Kimmel censored himself with his abysmal ratings.

He was a great success at losing money.

There was no censorship…his lack of humor shut him down.

Being in business to make a profit is what's alive and well, and impossible with Kimmel's leftist rantfest.



Dumping Kimmel is smart business, not censorship; the world is sick of leftist bullshit.

One hundred percent.

Kimmel lied about the shooter being on the right.

The shooter shot a man who helped elect President Trump. He turned the youth vote to President Trump.

Sinclair Broadcast Group is a "for profit" company and has a fiduciary responsibility to its stockholders.

They made a financial decision...a wise one.

It didn't air here, but I saw that he apologized....

It wasn't a real apology. He is incapable of recognizing what he did.

Morning, TOP.

It appears that Cleveland is tied with Detroit. The Braves tried to help the Guardians by sweeping the Tigers.

The Braves have won the last ten games in a row. Too little too late though.

Next year?

No; Sinclair stations are nationwide:

Sinclair seeks profitability in Kimmel's former timeslot, which is, obviously, not possible with Kimmel...and now, Nexstar is also refusing to air te money pit Kimmel show.

I hear you.

When the Braves won their last World Series in 2021, the last play of the game was a ground ball to short. I saw Dansby Swanson look to second for a force play and I almost panicked…he’s going to throw to second and not get the force play but he threw to first base, game over, Braves win their second World Series.

What’s your bet on how long Sinclair will hold out? My guess, it depends on how much Kompromat Trump has on their leadership.
