Which brings me back to the question I asked earlier, what does Disney do this case? Do they shop it to other stations in those markets?

Post #37, second link for today's Brendan Carr statement.
I’m hoping for a cold open with a “
Sorry. Blew right by it. Brendan's weaseling.
Still, that line from Carr..."We can do this the easy way, or the hard way" Is this the Mafia or the FCC???

Did you put a member on 'ignore'...Lol
OK, thanks. I have that user on "ignore". Never mind, as they used to say on another late-night show.
Edit: Reading that quote...yeah, Carr is backtracking. It's disingenuous, to say the least. A lot of this bunch in power don't seem to realize that the hysterical language they use to whip up their supporters now has real consequences, instead of just getting their endorphins going, and carelessness in expressing themselves will come back to bite them, sooner or later.

Not only that but Sinclair has made a nasty habit in recent years (as reported on both NPR and Pacifica) of requiring their stations to run news commentaries without saying they are commentaries. Again, the MAGA supporters will lap it up but the other folks, as you say, will turn their TV channels elsewhere for news.
Its a wait and see negotiations Disney has to do with affiliation contracts Sinclair has in some parts of the US especially Washington DC since their ABC affiliate WJLA is affected by this. We shall wait if Sinclair change their minds on this. Also Chairman Carr has to respond to doing the same stuff over the other talk show "The View" over the same things.
Companies like Disney are running away from broadcasting as fast as possible. Regulatory risk is certainly one reason why.
Nope. He’s back with a new show tomorrow.
Could those spots advertisers ask for a price concession, since the spots are running during a different program, instead of the program they were scheduled to run with when they were bought? Or do they just buy the timeslot?
That's complicated. There are some elements that are sponsored, such as the music segment at the end. Presenting sponsors are different from spots in the show. They pay extra for billboards. So the answer to your question is probably both.
Thanks for the info. I meant any local advertisers that run spots on Sinclair stations during what was supposed to be Kimmel’s show.
