I can’t tape ABC shows as far as I know. The clips will be widely available tomorrow though. Lots of need coverage I’m sure.

While I post Stephen Colbert, guess my weeks are numbered.

Though I do remember him from The Daily Show and he was excellent there! "This Week In God..."

... especially the "Word" feature!

I loved that . He couldn’t pull that off anymore, but it was great!

I thought the humor was even more biting, delivered by his alter-ego!

It was funny, but I was glad when the real Stephen returned.

Does Colbert’s time extend past the midterms? If so, everything can change.

*fingers crossed*

funny, our ABC affiliate is owned by Scripps and looks like it will air

Keeping Trump happy by showing their loyalty for the merger.

Don’t watch Sinclair local affiliate news or visit their website. At least deny them the thing they crave—-eyeballs. If people don’t watch, advertisers and $$$ dry up.

The CBS affiliate in Dayton is not. I watch Colbert on other CBS broadcasts on that station.

The program guide says it's a new show but has a generic show description for Kimmel all this week, while the Colbert and Fallon listings both list specific guests. Guess I'll know for certain Wednesday morning when I review the dvr.

do the same to Sinclair. And, as Emile says, call their advertisers.

Money talks.

Hit them where it hurts!

'Dan Satterfield Posted by Dan Satterfield Just now Ok, I keep getting asked about how to complain about Kimmel. The best way to complain that will have the biggest impact? See if you have a Sinclair or nexstar station in your area. 2. Watch the local newscast tonight or some time this week. 3. Note the companies that bought tv adverts. 4. Call them and let them know you will boycott them until they they quit supporting that media company. Trust me. I worked in tv for 45 years. Nothing you do will have greater impact. Nothing.'.

... Sinclair (hawktooi...) owned stations:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stations_owned_or_operated_by_Sinclair_Broadcast_Group

of a dung factory like sinclair in a great liberal city like Madison……

If you want it back, make your feelings known to your Sinclair station.

Disney does not own Sinclair.
Disney cannot force Sinclair to take it.
Disney (ABC) has reinstated Kimmel.

If you boycott Disney, they will think you are a right-wing Kimmel hater boycotting them for reinstating Kimmel.

Boycott Sinclair. Contact the station to let the right target know.

Quickly becoming two worlds in one country as the clans cut ties here, and shore up things there. In another 5 or 10 years, there will be two of everything you can imagine, tuned specifically to the sensibilities and dollars of the intended clan audience. From cops and banks, to TV and food.

and let them know you won't be shopping there, because of this.

Way past time to raise hell about corporate fascism like this.

they can't turn off the internet. Or stream You-tube.

If a station with a network affiliation preempts one of the networks show, another TV station of no affiliation or even another network affiliation can pick up and run the preempted show.

So, if an ABC affiliate doesn't want to run Kimmel, a CBS station can. Or an independent station.

I would love to see some rival stations in a Sinclair market essentially but legally pirate the Kimmel show away.

Franchisee will be put in its place. It’s beyond ridiculous. They’re not the hand, they’re the yo-yo.

It isn't a franchise, and Disney can't force them to show or not show anything.

Going after the advertisers is the way to go.

... so hit 'em where it hurts – in the wallet – it certainly got Disney's attention in a hurry.

Public pressure DOES make a difference. Look at how ABC and Disney caved when it became obvious how popular Jimmy Kimmel really is. At this point he's more popular than Chump!

Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper, make your voice heard. You'll get Kimmel back on the air in Madison.

They were the real start of this all along, right?

Is to complain to Sinclair, DirecTV, and the FCC.

They are not Sinclair. Allen Media Group.

When they pulled METV. They hava monopoly in Humboldt County.

so, as before, you can stream it the next day! F**k Sinclair and the zealots that own it!

Tell them how your will no longer do business with them because they are supporting a soul less corporate entity that is maga to the core.

Most of their commercials are for ambulance chasers, I've been boycotting them for years.

That is really arrogant and stupid

UPDATE: Sinclair is NOT going to broadcast Jimmy Kimmel, even though ABC is resuming production.

Sinclair has demanded that Kimmel personally donate to Turning Point USA, a right-wing political organization.

David Smith, executive chairman of Sinclair, donated 250K to Turning Point USA last year.

I asked Xfinity’s virtual assistant how to watch and got the following response:


If your local Sinclair station is not airing Jimmy Kimmel, you can explore other options available through Xfinity. You can watch shows on networks like ABC, which may have the episode available on their website or app. Additionally, you can check out streaming options on platforms like Hulu, where episodes of Jimmy Kimmel Live! are often available shortly after airing. You can also access various entertainment and news channels through the Xfinity Stream app or portal for more viewing choices.

90%+ of what you are paying for you don't use.
Reading is very good for your brain and wallet
