Overview

• Nexstar Media Group said Tuesday that the ABC stations it owns or partners with will not resume airing “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
• Disney is returning the late-night show to national distribution after a suspension tied to Jimmy Kimmel’s comments about Charlie Kirk.
• The decision applies only to Nexstar’s owned and partner ABC stations rather than all ABC affiliates.
• The show was slated to return Tuesday across the network, but Nexstar markets will keep it off those stations for now.
• The move highlights how station groups can independently withhold network programs from local schedules.
