Yes, there was a threat by the FCC for speech that didn't violate an FCC regulation. You're ok with that? You're ok with the federal government threatening people/businesses with consequences for using legal, protected speech?
that is simply not true. Many people in large cities rely exclusively on over the air content.
Nope - that is a lie.
Comments were made on a talk show. No correspondence to ABC or Disney from the FCC. Certainly no threats.
Since what you claim is a lie - there is nothing to be okay with. If any action had been taken by the FCC - I would oppose it. But none was.

The government was threatening FCC action. Can you explain why?

"Certainly no threats"
These were the FCC Chair's comments:
“We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Carr said. “These companies can find ways to change conduct and take actions on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”
And speaking on Fox Wednesday night, Carr suggested broadcasters would see more of this kind of pressure in the future.
“We at the FCC are going to force the public interest obligation. There are broadcasters out there that don’t like it, they can turn in their license in to the FCC,” Carr said. “But that’s our job. Again, we’re making some progress now.”
You are so dishonest, I'm actually embarrassed for you.
Again, Gutfield who has double Kimmel's viewership is not on broadcast over the air.
In fact, only a paltry 19% of Americans watch television from the airwaves at all. A number that declines each year. In fact, the old networks are watched more through cable and streaming hookups than they are from over the air receivers.

Nearly 23 million U.S. homes access free TV programming using digital antennas—viewership that can’t be measured by big data.

On a talk show. Not an order to ABC, not a legal pleading, not even a memo.
Just remarks on a talk show.
The FCC took no action whatsoever. Disney cancelled a perpetually low rated show.

Kimmel said absolutely nothing derogatory about Kirk, but instead roasted the clown with his OWN WORDS.

The Orange Jesus is solidifying his dictatorship to the wild applause of all MAGAts. Is it really any wonder that if the civil war comes, all of these fuckers need to be treated like ISIS terrorists seeking to destroy our Republic? No cruelty. Just a fair trial and a fair hanging.
Let them waste their money!
But Gutfield's cable show is kicking the late night airway shows butts.
and it would have even higher ratings if it was on a free over the air channel
why do none of the big 3 have a similar program at 10:30? each of the three cater to the same audience....why?
Kemmil LIED and tried to gaslight his audience.
Most likely but then liberal heads would explode.

Yes, that's how the government censors people without actually doing anything. Neither ABC, Sinclair, etc wants to fight with Trump's government, so they fire Kimmel because it's much easier to do that than spend millions of dollars and hundreds of hours fighting the federal government.
The point is, the FCC shouldn't be publicly commenting on individuals or individual business. If the government acted professionally, and wasn't run by a Mafia boss, they'd address any concerns privately and conduct an investigation if necessary.
