Sinclair Ghosts Jimmy Kimmel, ABC Affiliates Spill Tea Instead
In a move no one saw coming but everyone definitely needed, Sinclair—who controls ABC affiliates like the gatekeeper at an exclusive disco—announced on Monday that Jimmy Kimmel's show, aka the late-night laugh machine, will vanish from their channels starting Tuesday night. Why? Because Disney unleashed Kimmel back into the wild on the very same Tuesday, prompting Sinclair to pull the plug and slap on 'news programming' instead, proving that your nightly dose of chuckles is apparently less important than more yelling about the weather and politics. Their official X (yes, the formerly Twitter) announcement cryptically explained that 'discussions with ABC are ongoing,' which in corporate speak means Sinclair might reconsider after they finish brewing their viewer complaint smoothies.

Sinclair's ABC affiliates just hit 'unsubscribe' on Jimmy Kimmel's late-night fun, swapping laughs for relentless news doom-scrolling. Proof that solid comedy sometimes loses to even more solid corporate drama.
Stopping Jimmy Kimmel on ABC affiliates is like canceling pizza delivery because you're on a diet—nobody's happy, but Sinclair insists it's for the greater good of forced news binges.
Sinclair replacing Kimmel's show with news is the hottest late-night plot twist since commercial breaks felt longer than the shows themselves.
