Sinclair won’t air Kimmel.
Despite Disney announcing the show’s return, the television operator in control of 39 local ABC affiliates across the US, including Washington DC, issued the following statement:
Beginning Tuesday night, Sinclair will be preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live! across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming. Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show’s potential return.
It’s unclear if Nexstar, the other major operator that’s also seeking FCC approval for a merger, will follow suit.
