Sinclair has just announced that they will be refusing to air Jimmy Kimmel’s show after ABC reinstated his show earlier today.
They are still evaluating his return to their ABC affiliate stations, and are in discussions with ABC about it.
Here’s their statement:
Beginning Tuesday night, Sinclair will be preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live! across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming. Discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate the show’s potential return. pic.twitter.com/beGC6VID2x

They had demanded an apology from Kimmel over his despicable comments, so I would assume that’s still their red line. I hope they never show it again, but I doubt that will happen.
