Good afternoon, Chicago.

Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker has called for boycotts and protests against broadcast outlets that are tied to yesterday’s decision by the Walt Disney Co. and its ABC network to indefinitely suspend comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s nightly talk show, including against WGN’s television and radio stations and ABC-7 in Chicago.

It was part of a larger call to action by the two-term governor after ABC pulled “Jimmy Kimmel Live” following Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr’s threats that the agency would take steps against the network over comments Kimmel made about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
