Not everyone is picking Kimmel back up Major Broadcaster Still Refuses To Air Jimmy Kimmel https://screenrant.com/jimmy-kimmel-abc-sinclair-refuse-broadcast/ Gee, I wonder why... Search Assist Sinclair Broadcast Group is currently exploring merger options for its broadcast business, which could lead to significant changes in its operations. This review comes amid a broader push for deregulation in the broadcast industry, potentially allowing for more mergers and acquisitions. CNBC Sinclair Broadcast Group Merger Overview Sinclair Broadcast Group is currently exploring merger options for its broadcast business. This strategic review could lead to significant changes in the company's structure and operations. Current Status of Sinclair's Business Broadcast Stations: Sinclair operates 178 TV stations across 81 markets, affiliated with major networks like ABC, NBC, and CBS. Financial Performance: The company reported a decline in total revenue and advertising revenue in recent quarters, prompting the need for strategic changes. Market Capitalization: Sinclair's market capitalization is approximately $875 million, with an enterprise value exceeding $4.3 billion. Potential Merger Details Strategic Review: Sinclair has received board approval to explore merger options and has engaged in discussions with potential partners. Deregulation Impact: The current political climate, particularly under the Trump administration, may facilitate mergers and acquisitions in the broadcast industry, as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is considering deregulation. Future Prospects: While discussions are ongoing, there is no guarantee that a merger will occur. The company is also considering spinning off its ventures unit, which includes the Tennis Channel. Implications of a Merger Market Influence: A merger could enhance Sinclair's influence in the broadcast market, especially as it navigates the challenges of declining pay-TV subscriptions. Regulatory Approval: Any merger would require FCC approval, which may involve changes to existing ownership rules. Sinclair's strategic moves are closely watched as they could reshape the landscape of local broadcasting in the U.S.

Biden is who he always was, a narcissist and all-about-Biden, prone to gaffes and telling some whoppers. You guys like to pretend he was like that classic corvette (the one he liked to keep the top secret files in the trunk), but in truth he was an old junker spitting and sputtering, dropping parts along the road and brakes squeaking like the devil. He didn’t f you all as much as you allowed yourself to be f’d. Trump. 1
Joe Ferguson forever Posted September 23 Posted September 23 1 minute ago, B-Man said: Gee I wonder why Sinclair has broadcasted Kimmel for 22 years ? You are so simple sometimes Joe. they haven't been looking to change FCC rules for 22 years. And trump hasn't been president for 22 years.

B-Man Posted September 23 Posted September 23 ABC Affiliate Stations Push Back in the Face of the Network’s Cowardice on Kimmel. It’s fairly obvious why Sinclair is doing this, and it wouldn’t surprise me if we see Nexstar, another large affiliate owner, follow suit. These companies do not expect Kimmel to go on air and show any contrition about his comments, much less offer a sincere apology. Rather, they expect him to double down in a show of defiance. Whether ABC can somehow persuade him to do otherwise has yet to be seen. So why should Sinclair put its neck on the line for a clown like Kimmel when they don’t know how this will be handled? In that sense, their decision to preempt Kimmel’s show is just smart business. It’s also a necessary moral stand in the face of abject cowardice on the part of ABC. The legacy broadcast network had a chance to rid itself of a money sink and negative lightning rod, but instead, they let a bunch of actors and politicians intimidate them into a self-defeating reversal. What now? They just keep setting cash on fire to make sure Jennifer Aniston and Jim Acosta are happy? Talk about painting yourself into a corner. Kimmel will now be unfirable no matter what happens. https://redstate.com/bonchie/2025/09/22/sinclair-stands-up-in-the-face-of-abcs-cowardice-on-kimmel-n2194234#google_vignette That should do wonders for ABC’s ratings long-term: Jimmy Kimmel’s ratings were plummeting before ABC suspended him for Charlie Kirk comments. 2

leh-nerd skin-erd Posted September 23 Posted September 23 1 hour ago, Joe Ferguson forever said: I voted for Biden. There was no other reasonable choice. he was the only primary candidate that could beat trump in 2020. And he did. Soundly. I would think your nihilism re all things politics would allow you to understand that: the lesser of evils by far. It's a constant argument of yours: Everyone is corrupt so the latest outrageous actions aren't a big deal. Didn't your mother ever say "If everyone else jumped over Niagara Falls, would you?" answer in 100 words or less. Who said Biden didn’t win, soundly, in 2020? Are you saying he f’d you in 2020? Put away the yearbook, Gramps, you lost a few years here. 54 minutes ago, SectionC3 said: Trump. Yes, of course.
Orlando Buffalo Posted September 23 Posted September 23 I am a little disappointed in myself, I actually thought he had been fired, I believed he had been fired, he was literally suspended for a week and y'all pretended Trump did it. If Trump was involved why did he back off so quickly?

With age comes wisdom. Do you blame boomers for your lot? Thought so Ageism is almost as bad as racism. Trump is much older than me and is an exception to the wisdom rule. btw haven’t seen my yearbook in many years. Surely it’s among the many boxes of books we collectively accumulated.

You and I were talking about how Biden f’edyou over, which for some reason caused you to jump to 2020. I don’t blame boomers for my lot. I appreciate those that had a hand in my successes (boomers and others), and at the same time figure most of the challenges were mine to shoulder.
