The Sinclair Broadcast Group announced that it will bring back the airing of “ Jimmy Kimmel Live! ” on its ABC affiliate broadcast stations, starting Friday.

“Our objective throughout this process has been to ensure that programming remains accurate and engaging for the widest possible audience,” Sinclair stated in a press release. “We take seriously our responsibility as local broadcasters to provide programming that serves the interests of our communities, while also honoring our obligations to air national network programming.”
