A lot of people will tune in just to see what he has to say about this episode.

A lot of people may not have an opportunity to watch.

True. Still, if he were to be cancelled, I’d prefer it be the old-fashioned way. Can the show because it stinks. Although, I do very much like the idea of local affiliates taking over the power of choice in programming.

Too bad Charlie Kirk doesn’t get a second chance to voice his opinion in the arena of free speech.

The ONLY reason I would watch is to see what his response is. 

If he doubles down on his comments, I don't think that will play well for Disney. 

Does he apologize?

So, let's start shooting up tv stations now...unreal.

I'll pass. Although, I never watched anyway. But, I sure wouldn't give him the satisfaction now. I can read about it Wednesday without propping up his ratings.

Jimmy Kimmel’s so-called “comeback” is already collapsing as more than 70 ABC affiliates REFUSE to air his show!

Might as well fire that podcast up no one will listen to, first guests, the Dixie Chicks and Keith Olbermann.

That guy has lost his mind, and he used to be great on ESPN.

Jimmy Kimmel has NOT been silenced, so there goes the “free speech” angle. On the other hand, Charlie Kirk was taken out to silence him. Where is his freedom to speak? The irony is Kirk’s platform has been magnified thousands of times over, while Kimmel’s audience has dwindled, but he is still free to speak his mind.

[thetragichippy]

While I didn't watch it , I did see clips of it on social media. 

I think his explanation (definitely not an apology) was enough to satisfy Disney and ABC. The question is was it enough to satisfy Nexstar, Sinclair and the millions of people he offended...........

[AggiesAreWe]

Don't know how true this is but I saw where ABC is threatening Nexstar, Sinclair and others with not providing SEC football broadcasts to those companies if they don't air Jimmy.

Sounds made up to me. I have not tried to verify.

Yeah. Sounds kind of fishy. They'd be sticking the knife in their own back since they pay millions for the rights, then the affiliates pay them. College football is a much bigger draw than Kimmel. The major over-the-air networks are basically empty shell corporations without their affiliates. Advertisers aren't going to pay enough for Disney/ABC to even compete to purchase sports programming without the affiliates. 

They'd lose a much larger audience if they moved everything strictly to ESPN. Many aren't going to pay. Especially nowadays. Advertisers wouldn't be happy about that move either.

I think if Disney/ABC want to play chicken with their affiliates, Nexstar and Sinclair may have the upper hand.

One of Commie Kimmel's first guest was Gavin Newscum.  Commie Kimmel hasn't learned anything!  SMH!
