IT JUST GOT WORSE: Nation’s Largest ABC Affiliate Group to Air Special Tribute to Charlie Kirk Friday in Kimmel’s Former Time Slot After Dirtbag Host FIRED

The radical left’s late-night propaganda machine took a massive hit this week as Jimmy Kimmel’s show was yanked from the airwaves following his despicable lies about the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk.

And now, in a delicious twist of poetic justice, ABC affiliates are set to replace the dirtbag comedian’s time slot with a heartfelt special tribute to Kirk himself.

On Wednesday, Nexstar announced that all 32 of its ABC broadcast affiliates will preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” indefinitely, blasting Kimmel’s sick comments about Kirk’s murder as “offensive and insensitive.”

According to the press release:

Nexstar Media Group, Inc. today announced that the company’s owned and partner television stations affiliated with the ABC Television Network would preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” for the foreseeable future beginning with tonight’s show. Nexstar strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets.

“Mr. Kimmel’s comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse, and we do not believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views, or values of the local communities in which we are located,” said Andrew Alford, President of Nexstar’s broadcasting division.

“Continuing to give Mr. Kimmel a broadcast platform in the communities we serve is simply not in the public interest at the current time, and we have made the difficult decision to preempt his show in an effort to let cooler heads prevail as we move toward the resumption of respectful, constructive dialogue.”

During his Monday night monologue, Kimmel told his dwindling audience that Kirk was killed by a “MAGA conservative”—a flat-out lie designed to smear Trump supporters and turn a tragedy into political ammunition for the left.

FCC Chairman Brendon Carr immediately slammed Kimmel and threatened action against ABC and Disney for allowing blatant misinformation to air on national television.

Reports indicate that Kimmel, 57, is “absolutely f***ing livid” over being yanked off the air.

According to producers who spoke to the Daily Mail, Kimmel has been raging behind the scenes and scrambling with network execs to salvage what’s left of his career.

The bitter comic even tried spinning his suspension as “government overreach” and an attack on “free speech”—a laughable claim coming from a man who spent years cheering censorship of conservatives online.

In a stunning move that will no doubt infuriate Kimmel further, Sinclair Broadcasting Group, the largest owner of stations that are affiliated with Fox, NBC, CBS, ABC, and others, announced it will air a special tribute to Charlie Kirk during the Jimmy Kimmel Live! time slot this Friday.

“Sinclair’s ABC stations to Air Special in Remembrance of Charlie Kirk During Jimmy Kimmel Live! Friday Timeslot Sinclair’s ABC stations will air a special in remembrance of Charlie Kirk this Friday, during the Jimmy Kimmel Live! timeslot. The special will also air across all Sinclair stations this weekend. In addition, Sinclair is offering the special to all ABC affiliates across the country.”

Earlier, the Sinclair Group released its own statement blasting Kimmel’s vile remarks, declaring that his suspension was “not enough” and demanding that the FCC and ABC take further action.

Sinclair’s ABC stations to air a special in remembrance of Charlie Kirk during Jimmy Kimmel Live timeslot on Friday

Sinclair, the nation’s largest ABC affiliate group, objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

As discussed with ABC earlier today, Sinclair decided to indefinitely preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” beginning tonight. Following these discussions, ABC has suspended production of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

“Mr. Kimmel’s remarks were inappropriate and deeply insensitive at a critical moment for our country,” said Vice Chairman Jason Smith. “We believe broadcasters have a responsibility to educate and elevate respectful, constructive dialogue in our communities. We appreciate FCC Chairman Carr’s remarks today and this incident highlights the critical need for the FCC to take immediate regulatory action to address control held over local broadcasters by the big national networks.”

Sinclair’s ABC stations will air a special in remembrance of Charlie Kirk this Friday, during Jimmy Kimmel Live’s timeslot. The special will also air across all Sinclair stations this weekend. In addition, Sinclair is offering the special to all ABC affiliates across the country.

Sinclair will not lift the suspension of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on our stations until formal discussions are held with ABC regarding the network’s commitment to professionalism and accountability.

Sinclair also calls upon Mr. Kimmel to issue a direct apology to the Kirk family. Furthermore, we ask Mr. Kimmel to make a meaningful personal donation to the Kirk Family and Turning Point USA.

Regardless of ABC’s plans for the future of the program, Sinclair intends not to return “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to our air until we are confident that appropriate steps have been taken to uphold the standards expected of a national broadcast platform.
