Sinclair and Nexstar revive Kimmel at ABC Station

Jimmy Kimmel Live! This will show up again on all ABC channels.

Sinclair Broadcast Group and Nexstar Media Group announced Friday that they will return the show to ABC affiliates after a week's ban.

The companies carrying dozens of ABC stations throughout the US have drawn up a program over comments Kimmel made about Charlie Kirk's death.

Sinclair decided to revive the late-night talk show after “thoughtful feedback from viewers, advertisers and community leaders.”

Kimmel was also temporarily suspended from all ABCs and returned to the network on Tuesday.

“It was never my intention to underestimate the murder of a young man,” he said in his opening monologue that night.

You can watch Kimmel's show again by lifting viewers of Blackout, Sinclair and Nexter in cities like Washington, DC, Nashville, New Orleans and Seattle.

In a press release, Sinclair said the discussion between ABC and parent company Disney was “continuous and constructive.” The media conglomerate said it proposed measures to promote “accountability” within Disney.

He said none of these measures have been adopted yet.

Nexstar also quoted the positive debate with ABC, saying in a press release it was “awesome for our constructive approach to addressing our concerns.” The company said it is “working on First Amendment protection.”

Kimmel landed in hot water after a September 15th monologue on the death of conservative fire brand Kirk.

He says President Donald Trump and his allies are “deeply trying to characterise the child who killed Charlie Kirk as something other than one of them,” and “trying to score political points from there.”

He also compared Trump's reaction to influencer murder to “the way a four-year-old child laments goldfish.”

Trump-appointed Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman Brendan Kerr threatened to revoke ABC's broadcast license in an interview with a conservative podcast.

After Carr's comments, Sinclair and Nexstar said they would stop airing the show at dozens of ABC affiliates.

ABC then pulled the show completely into the air.

This sparked a nationwide debate about free speech. This includes online trends for people canceling their Disney+ subscriptions.

Disney announced on Monday that Kimmel will return into the air, but Sinclair and the Nexter insisted they will not air it.

His return show on Tuesday drew record ratings, with 6.26 million people watching live despite a quarter of the ABC Station not airing.

Kimmel expressed regret over his previous jokes about Kirk, but chased Trump and Kerr for what he called a “mob” censorship tactic.

“Our leaders celebrate people losing their livelihoods to make them pay because he can't joke,” Kimmel said.

Trump was openly disappointed Kimmel's return to work.

“I can't believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job,” he wrote in a social media post.
