Latest updates: https://www.foxnews.com/media/...
@FoxNews If it’s not about censorship and it’s about business why is Sinclair ignoring their parent company 🤔
@FoxNews 🚨 BREAKING: Another domino falls. First Sinclair, now Nexstar. Jimmy Kimmel is getting BLACKLISTED by his own affiliates. Not a glitch. Not the FCC. Stations themselves are DONE with his toxic “brand” after the Charlie Kirk comments. When local networks — who
@FoxNews The combination of Nexstar and Sinclair make up over 1/4 of all ABC stations in the country. The list includes ABC stations in Washington D.C., Seattle-Tacoma WA, St. Louis MO, Columbus OH, and Richmond VA. None of these stations (as well as over 60 others) will air Kimmel.
@FoxNews Good news. Let's do a limbo competition for his viewership...
@FoxNews To a very “limited” and very hateful audience, mind you.
@FoxNews When multiple major station groups start sidelining your show, it’s not just about politics, it’s about business. Affiliates don’t want to carry content they think will drive away viewers or advertisers, and Kimmel has become increasingly polarizing over the years. With his
@FoxNews Not so fast
@FoxNews Nexstar and Sinclair control over a quarter of ABC stations, including those in D.C., Seattle, St. Louis, Columbus, and Richmond—none of them (plus 60+ others) will air Kimmel.
@FoxNews When Nexstar and Sinclair independently reach identical conclusions, that's a pretty strong market signal about viewer sentiment."
@FoxNews If a Kimmel cries with no affiliates, does it make a sound?
@FoxNews Put on Roseanne reruns in the time slot!! 👏👏👏👏
@FoxNews The issue with him are his ratings. Sinclair and NexStar could air old episodes of AirWolf and beat his ratings 3x over.
@FoxNews His next gig awaits
@FoxNews So basically viewers are the ones stuck in the middle of these corporate tug-of-wars. People don’t tune in to think about carriage fees and contracts—they just want to watch their favorite late-night show. When both Sinclair and Nexstar pull the plug, it stops being about
@FoxNews They need Trump and the FCC to approve a multi-billion-dollar merger deal. But I'm sure that has nothing to do with it.
@FoxNews they need that merger approved by the FCC still
@FoxNews @harryjsisson is in shambles. 🤣
@FoxNews Because his show isn't comedy. He's got severe TDS and can't move on.
@FoxNews Wouldn't have been hired by Fox, though, since he isn't a handsy groper.
@FoxNews Will see if Disney / Iger / ABC caves and cancels the show or says losses be damned we’re sticking with Kimmel. Disney has the resources to lose even more money with Kimmel. Not even a rounding error on their income statement
@FoxNews Now, one has to pause & say, brilliant strategy - on so many fronts! First it screams, hey wasn’t T - you guys on your own. Second, pressure is off ABC, a HUGE ‘whew’ can be heard. And leaves kimmy floundering… Can’t get any better!
@FoxNews Kimmel lied to his audience about the character of the alleged sh00ter of Charlie Kirk. When the truth came out, all he had to do was correct his statement. Kimmel wouldn’t…Fine. This is one of the consequences of lying and being a jerk.
@FoxNews Wait according to the Left it was TRUMP who was suppressing Kimmel
@FoxNews Censorship doesn’t always silence-it spotlights. Nexstar joining Sinclair in pulling Kimmel shows how media battles now play out in prime time. 🎭
@FoxNews Member when MAGA Said they would defend free speech??? Member???
@FoxNews This is better than seeing “Jimmy” suspended!
@FoxNews Can you imagine the hissy fit Jimmy is throwing?
@FoxNews Wait, arent Nexstar and Sinclair the two companies looking to abosrb a bunch more stations but need FCC/government approval because they already control so many? They were lobbying the FCC, right? I am sure this is all just a cooincidence, even in light of Carr's threats...🙄
@FoxNews @WeAreSinclair @NXSTMediaGroup Just live stream @ICEgov raids and @DHSgov strikes on Venezuelan narco terrorists during the old @JimmyKimmelLive time slot. Ratings gold! 💰💰💰
@FoxNews Most Americans watch TV through streaming services, with a 2025 Pew Research Center survey showing 83% of adults use them, while only 36% still subscribe to traditional cable or satellite TV.
@FoxNews This is huge news. Well done Nexstar and Sinclair! This equates to millions of households. Let’s see how JIMMY does now! His ratings were already trash. Now hes gona have 0 viewers not to mention all the advertisers being pulled. 🤣 😂 fuck off jimmy.
