ABC will put Jimmy Kimmel Live! On Wednesday, Sept. 17, distributor Nexstar announced it would pull the show from its affiliates, prompting Disney to suspend production. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr also threatened to “take action” against the ABC affiliates’ broadcast licenses, saying, “We can do this the easy way or the hard way.”The suspension drew immediate backlash. ABC’s announcement does not guarantee viewers in every market will see Kimmel on Tuesday. Nexstar has not said whether it will reverse its blackout, and Sinclair, the largest owner of ABC affiliates, previously demanded Kimmel apologize directly to Kirk’s family and make a donation to Turning Point USA before restoring the show.
