They’re my local affiliate 😩
Fucking cowards.
I wonder if Disney can threaten to pull their other programming if they don’t air it?
If you have a Sinclair station refusing to show Jimmy, just watch all your programming the next day on Hulu and refuse to give that station a second of your viewership.
Broadcast tv will be dead in ten years anyway. If Sinclair wants to be king of nothing, oblige them.
if you liked DeSantis vs Disney, you’re going to love Trump vs Disney!
do people even still watch these late night talk shows live anymore? My understanding is they are largely consumed via youtube or short snippets on tiktok or instagram
Anybody who lives in the areas they cover, send in complaints.🤷♀️
Also I hope Kimmel, ABC/Disney sue them and this administration.
sinclair operates WJLA, the local ABC station for DC. are they trying to make sure trump can’t accidentally tune into kimmel?
They should pull all other programming then. You won’t show Kimmel? Fine. But we’re pulling all Primetime and daytime programming. You’ll need to generate that on your own.
Disney should respond by withholding their ABC programming from Sinclair affiliates, including the NFL.

[This is how pro-Trump Sinclair reports “news”](https://x.com/Deadspin/status/980175772206993409).
To get it back on in your area, you have to go after the advertisers. The ones who give money to First Amendment suppressers. So find out who advertises on your Sinclair station and let them know.

They are my local affiliate and not aligned with my city’s culture
Sinclair ’bout to lose a loooot if money lol.
Viewers won’t watch reruns of Family Feud or what they put on. Knowing Kimmel’s back, people want to watch him. His popularity us surging. People in those markets just won’t watch and hopefully they come out to protest at their local stations/Sinclair hq.
Only 38?? I assumed it was way more based on how they capitulated! I guess it depends on how big these stations are. There must be more than 50 (one per state)??
Very important: Sinclair operates a hella lot more stations. Look to see what they own on your market and boycott / speak your displeasure to that affiliate. Could be Fox, etc!

Send mail, I’m about to write a letter to them about it
Corporations owning a large local affiliate network is the stupidest thing the FCC has ever allowed.
What losers.
They’re my local affiliate. If you’d like to send them an email about how upset you are, here’s their contact info:
