Jimmy Kimmel Live! will make its return to Nexstar’s ABC affiliate stations, the company announced on Friday, just hours after Sinclair revealed it would also allow the show on its airwaves.
“We have had discussions with executives at the Walt Disney Company and appreciate their constructive approach to addressing our concerns,” read the statement from Nexstar on Friday afternoon. “As a local broadcaster, Nexstar remains committed to protecting the First Amendment while producing and airing local and national news that is fact-based and unbiased, and above all, broadcasting content that is in the best interest of the communities we serve.”
Nexstar owns and operates more than 30 ABC affiliates across the nation, including stations in Nashville, Salt Lake City, and Hartford/New Haven,
