Sinclair and Nexstar end boycott of Jimmy Kimmel Live! and will air show again
The two station owners’ preemption of the late-night show left about 25% of TV viewers in the US unable to watch it
Local TV conglomerate Sinclair Broadcast Group and Nexstar Media Group said their ABC-affiliate stations will start airing Jimmy Kimmy Live! again on Friday night, ending their preempting of the show.
Sinclair and fellow station owner Nexstar had continued to preempt Kimmel’s late-night talkshow even after ABC had put Kimmel back on air.
