Sinclair on Friday said it is returning “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to its ABC stations, ending its preemption of the late-night show over remarks host Jimmy Kimmel had made on the show in response to the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
The show will air on its ABC affiliates tonight, Sinclair said in a Friday statement.
“Our objective throughout this process has been to ensure that programming remains accurate and engaging for the widest possible audience,” the statement said. “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.”
