Which is why the affiliates said they would drop him, and ABC suspended him. The system worked as it should.
If it had just been Sinclair and Nexstar complaining to ABC, that would have been a situation that networks have dealt with before. The system did not work as it should because the new chairman of the FCC was not letting the market decide what would happen, but instead was making uninformed threats.

Nonsense
 

FCC should drop the hammer. Kimmel lying about a significant news event clearly violated their policy against "news distortion" in over-the-air broadcast. If he wants to continue being a lying political propagandist, take it to cable.
And you can take this discussion to the controversial board. Move on.
 
Sinclair has decided to preempt his show for their 38 affiliates. Hoping for some Andy Griffith or Twilight Zone reruns. Even some Hee Haw would be a step up.

As Paramount Skydance prepares a bid for Warner Bros. Discovery, CNBC's David Faber reported Friday an offer could land in the range of $22 to $24 per share.
Faber, citing sources, cautioned that price range was speculative and that an offer could come later than previously expected.
Faber reported Friday a formal bid could be about 70% to 80% cash, backed in part by Larry Ellison, the father of Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison.
 
Disney should move on from Kimmel. Would be best for their reputation and their stock price. Find somebody actually funny and that can appeal to everyone or at least equally offend everyone.

Johnny Carson was the king and he had some wise words for situations like this. Disney should listen.

Nexstar has also announced that it will preempt Kimmel on their affiliates. Not a good look for Disney at all. Might be a stock buying opportunity if Disney decides to be stubborn.

When broadcasters violate FCC guidelines, the first penalty is usually a fine.
Sure, but the FCC didn’t leverage a fine as far as I can tell.

If Disney thought Kimmel was right, they could have paid the fine the FCC accessed.
That was the original post I was responding to. That could not have paid the fine, because there is no fine… maybe because there was no content that would rise to the level of a fine?

More likely because ABC suspended him before the FCC investigated.
 
Yeah it’s not the greatest of timing but it’s also been the standard to issue an increase at the end of the fiscal year to take place in the new fiscal year.
I had read a day or two ago that there was an increase coming. I have a grandfathered plan that's no longer offered, and it's going up by $5, or nearly 39%. 😥 I had already been thinking about cancelling, and this will seal the deal.
 
There's usually a Black Friday deal offered. Right now I am at $2.99 with Disney+ and Hulu for the year after locking in last year's sale.
I was at that rate for a couple of years, but are those deals available to past subscribers? E.g. if I cancel in September, can I get the holiday deal in November?

In any event, it will be interesting to see whether this month's happenings have an effect on Disney/Hulu viewership in the next couple of months.
