Local TV stations say they will not air Jimmy Kimmel Live! despite Disney-owned ABC bringing back the comedian's late-night show - a week after he was suspended for comments about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Nexstar and Sinclair, which together run dozens of stations affiliated to ABC, said they would continue to replace the show with regular programming on Tuesday.
"Mr Kimmel's remarks were inappropriate and deeply insensitive at a critical moment for our country," Sinclair's vice-chairman Jason Smith said.
