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

Either way the business decision is Kimmel stays on the air. So Kimmel gets to stay on the air after one of the lesser offensive things he has said or done in his TV career

Only if the system one supports is one of government intimidation, not the one we purportedly have

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.

If other people can have their opinion about it right here for the last 4 pages, why can't I?

Doesn’t look like it’s stock related at this point but by all means keep it up.

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.

Brian Kilmeade on FOX said homeless people should be killed by involuntary lethal injection and nothing happened to him. That's not inflammatory? The FCC doesn't seem to care about that, an actual call for killing people.

Just catching up on this. FCC does not control cable programming. Another thing, MSNBC has said worst things. Continuing to call MAGA people Nazis , and Trump Hitler.

Must not have been that intimidating if he’s coming back. Unlike during the last administration when people were getting deplatformed due to government pressure.

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.
