Nexstar and Sinclair bring Jimmy Kimmel's show back to local TV stations

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Nexstar Media Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group have brought Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show back to their local TV stations. This ends a dayslong TV blackout in dozens of U.S. cities. The blackout followed remarks Kimmel made about conservative activist Charlie Kirk's killing. The companies suspended the program on Sept. 17 over remarks the comedian made in the wake of conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s killing. Disney-owned ABC suspended Kimmel the same day, following threats of potential repercussions from the Trump-appointed head of the Federal Communications Commission. Despite Disney's decision to reinstate him Tuesday, Sinclair and Nexstar initially continued to preempt the show.
