Glenn Kirschner on how to respond to local affiliates that don't air Kimmel tonight,

and those that do:

I know what l'm doing at 11:30 pm tonight: turning on ABC to see if they're airing Jimmy Kimmel Live. If they DON'T, I'll note of every commercial that's run & I will boycott every single advertiser. If they DO air Kimmel, I will make a note of every commercial and I will SUPPORT those advertisers.

That he will issue an apology, but in a unapologetic way.
After all a man was killed, his politics aside, he was killed in cold blood.

While the "victim" beliefs and points of view are controversial, he was killed in cold blood.

I strongly suspect Kimmel will point that out, in a "unapologetic" apology.
Then jump back in to bashing the right ..

Sinclair and Nexstar will suspend for a couple of days, then they'll leave it up to the operators in the local market to decide whether or not to air it, based on feedback.

Washington DC, Portland, and Seattle, for example, will be boycotting advertisers in order to force it back on the air, whereas Johnson City, TN probably won't care.

in Ohio, most of the stations were in the south or rural states...

the actual loss of coverage for Jimmy from Sinclair stations
is a lot less impressive than their "number of stations"...

Besides Columbus Ohio, the next 'major city' I recall was Charleston, South Carolina...
