From the article: Senior TV executives initially supported Jimmy Kimmel in the hours before they switched course and made the shock decision to pull his show.
More details are emerging about the moments leading up to ABC’s decision to “indefinitely” cut Jimmy Kimmel Live!, including last-minute meetings where executives were reportedly “p—ing themselves,” according to Rolling Stone. The report quotes two sources familiar with the tense hours before the decision.
They said senior executives from ABC, its parent company Disney, and national network affiliates had held damage control meetings after the MAGA reaction to Monday’s show.
In those meetings, multiple executives backed Kimmel before ABC ultimately decided to cut the late-night host’s show, sources said, adding senior executives ultimately feared retaliation from President Donald Trump.
The report says multiple executives felt Kimmel “had not actually said anything over the line.”
Jimmy Kimmel Live! was pulled off the air on Wednesday after FCC Chairman Brendan Carr threatened to withdraw ABC’s broadcasting license during an interview with conservative YouTuber Benny Johnson.
Carr referenced Kimmel’s comments on slain right-wing activist Charlie Kirk in a monologue on Monday’s show.
“We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Carr said. “These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”
That led to Nexstar, which owns ABC affiliate stations across the U.S., deciding to pull Kimmel’s show. The president of the company’s broadcast division, Andrew Alford, called the talk show host’s comments “offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse.”
“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,” a statement from the company read.
Nexstar, which already says it owns “America’s largest local television broadcasting group,” announced last month it had entered into a $6.2 billion merger with media company Tegna. The corporate merger will require approval from the FCC.
Trump turned to social media shortly after the announcement to celebrate Kimmel’s show being paused, calling it “Great News for America.”
“Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done,” Trump said. “Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible.”
Because everyone caves in the end, Harvard, law firms, tech companies. Everyone caves. Trump has exposed our institutions as flawed and at the mercy of the federal government.
We already know why, because they’re spineless people who care about money first.
Save you a click: (same story as Paramount/CBS-Skydance)
**Nexstar**, which already says it owns “America’s largest local television broadcasting group,” announced last month it **had entered into a $6.2 billion merger with media company Tegna. The corporate merger will require approval from the FCC.**
Because 30 mins after he was fired FCC approved their merger.
Cancelled Hulu. Any recs for 🏴☠️ sites??
Money money money must be funny, in a rich mans world
I don’t need to read it. There is no excuse. Just stop making television altogether if everything has to be MAGA approved.
When Trump leaves in Jan 2029 the country may get back where it was in 2015. I honestly think Trumper’s the pennies will drop when the face of the con job that is MAGA is JD Vance and others. They don’t like any one not Trump. Truly. They’ll be ok with folks like Rubio & Vance if Trump is, however, the lack of charisma and cult leadership skills Trumpy possesses will be Republicans downfall Presidentionally I hope. As in, who else other than Trump has ever on the right been charismatic such as he? No one in my life time. Bush jr maybe, however, he was more so than his dad Bush snr who wasn’t exactly the most charismatic guy either!
When Vance runs, just watch. The eyeliner, the Indian wife etc etc
>senior executives ultimately feared retaliation from President Donald Trump.
You are all disgusting cowards.
FAFO! Cancelled!!!
Boycott abc. Boycott Disney. Boycott Disney+. Boycott the parks. Boycott marvel. Boycott starwars. Boycott Hulu. Boycott espn. There was one company who did this, Disney.
Pull Disneyland tax breaks
lol, “Caved to MAGA” …the guy talked shit about a civilian who was assassinated by a snipers bullet in front of thousands of people. His career in show biz is over, MAGA has nothing to do with it.
His numbers were in the toilet. This is an excellent time to shuffle a dwindling entertainer down the road.
I watched that monologue and I couldn’t hear one offensive joke that should have pulled him off the air.
Jesus ABC is stupid.
Here comes state run media.
“If we bend the knee now, they’ll leave us alone forever! It’s like the first rule of fascism guys! Guys?”
Who run border town!
The message from the right is loud and clear: Say anything remotely bad about Trump (or even use his own words against him) and we will cry until you lose your job. It doesn’t matter if you host a late-night TV show or work at Kinko’s, you’re one cranky right-winger away from losing your livelihood.
So much for laissez-fare, now we have full on government influence on the market.
