If Jimmy the Clown Kimmel returns tonight and no one watches, does he even make a sound? We all know what the whole thing was ABC and Kimmel was now… A pathetic attempt to stir up interest in Kimmel’s ratings failure comedy show to try and help the show survive as advertisers continue to pull their ads because they don’t see returns on their advertising investments… But now, you can add in over 60 ABC affiliated stations that wouldn’t be showing Kimmel anymore, tonight and how ever longer the unfunny clown lasts… Nexstar has joined Sinclair in declare they will preempt Kimmel’s clown show with their own programing… Between Nexstar and Sinclair, that’s well over 60 ABC stations throughout the country.
JUST IN: Nexstar joins Sinclair, announces they will continue preempting Jimmy Kimmel following his comments on Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

🚨 ALERT: Just because Disney is reinstating Jimmy Kimmel does NOT mean ABC affiliates have to air his show
Nexstar and Sinclair own a combined **63** ABC stations
They do NOT have to air his show.
GET LOUD! Tell @NXSTMediaGroup and Sinclair to KEEP KIMMEL OFF AIR!
