[COLOR=var(--bs-heading-color)]Sinclair Says Kimmel Suspension is Not Enough, Calls on FCC and ABC to Take Additional Action​

​

Sinclair’s ABC stations to air a special in remembrance of Charlie Kirk during Jimmy Kimmel Live timeslot on Friday​
BALTIMORE – Sinclair, the nation’s largest ABC affiliate group, objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
As discussed with ABC earlier today, Sinclair decided to indefinitely preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” beginning tonight. Following these discussions, ABC has suspended production of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
“Mr. Kimmel’s remarks were inappropriate and deeply insensitive at a critical moment for our country,” said Vice Chairman Jason Smith. “We believe broadcasters have a responsibility to educate and elevate respectful, constructive dialogue in our communities. We appreciate FCC Chairman Carr’s remarks today and this incident highlights the critical need for the FCC to take immediate regulatory action to address control held over local broadcasters by the big national networks.”
Sinclair’s ABC stations will air a special in remembrance of Charlie Kirk this Friday, during Jimmy Kimmel Live’s timeslot. The special will also air across all Sinclair stations this weekend. In addition, Sinclair is offering the special to all ABC affiliates across the country.
Sinclair will not lift the suspension of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on our stations until formal discussions are held with ABC regarding the network’s commitment to professionalism and accountability.
Sinclair also calls upon Mr. Kimmel to issue a direct apology to the Kirk family. Furthermore, we ask Mr. Kimmel to make a meaningful personal donation to the Kirk Family and Turning Point USA.
Regardless of ABC’s plans for the future of the program, Sinclair intends not to return “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to our air until we are confident that appropriate steps have been taken to uphold the standards expected of a national broadcast platform.

That is the press release. They were talking to ABC that morning about preempting. Carr made his comments that afternoon

Understood. It's been a point of dispute with others.
The public decision did not come before. The discussion did. My position is the discussion preceded the public announcement.

LMAO. I love how these morons think this is going on. Kimmel was NOT funny and his ratings were so poorly down that the sponsors decided to pull his disgusting hate show 24/7 on Trump & conservatives it were getting old & out of standards to allow it to continue. Kimmel still has "free speech". He can start his own podcast or stand on the sidewalk of NYC and preach his BS all he wants.

.... and yet another lie. It has been shown and poste here .... how it was actually made AFTER Carr's comments.

You should work on reading comprehension. No one claimed that the presser came out after. Just that the presser confirms that the back-lash against Kimmel and the decision to yank him happened before.

The logic you've been forced to cling to is brittle.

Nexstar's spokesperson said Carr’s comments had no effect. The discussion by the affiliates to pre-empt (my assumption) preceded Carr's statements on the podcast.
ABC's public decision came afterwards.

Of course, that is what Nexstar is going to say because they want to stay in good standing with the FCC. Their announcement came after Carr's comments. So did the announcement fro Sinclair.

Once again, folks are having to convince what people 'meant' in the face of what they said. When all the reading you guys ask us to do is between the lines, maybe we're not the problem.

Why is this continually mentioned?

As if it is okay for the federal government to cancel shows which they think aren't any good or have low Neilsen ratings. The decision to cancel shows should be left up to each individual network. The federal government should stay the hell out of any such decision.
