Kimmel returns Tuesday

Not open for further replies.

Note the Sinclair owned ABC affiliates as of this time will pre-empt Jimmy Kimmel's return to TV until further notice.



Here is Chairman Carr's statement today as he responds to the Jimmy Kimmel Situation.
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?
 
Reruns for a week until new episodes are available, but if anyone cares to tune into the local ABC channel at 11:35pm to watch Jimmy Kimmel Live?

I'm not seeing that post at all.

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.
 
Dopey move. Whatever their motivation, they had an audience that watched Kimmel that's been pissed off for most of a week. Now ABC's putting the show back on and those folks are being told "no" by their local affiliate.

There aren't enough happy MAGA folk to make up for what Sinclair's gonna lose in this deal. Long-term, they may get an easier go with the Trump administration, but they have TV stations to run and you can count on the Kimmel fans watching the local news on another channel.

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.
 
Which brings me back to the question I asked earlier, what does Disney do this case? Do they shop it to other stations e those markets?
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.
 
By the way, I checked some Nexstar stations, and they've got Kimmel on their schedule tomorrow. So Sinclair is on their own.

I imagine Sinclair has to run the spots, regardless of what show they run.

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.
