Yeah this is how it went down
Kimmel states killer is MAGA.
Affiliates say we’re not putting him on the air anymore.
ABC say apologize or you’re gone.
Kimmel who has FU money says FU
ABC seeing the show is no longer viable without the affiliates pulls the plug.
That is where things stand today like you said. Maybe there are wheels turning behind the scenes for some other scenario of Kimmel popping up elsewhere. He’s been invited to go on Colbert to vent or rant or whatever.
His show was losing 40-50 million a year. His advertisers were pulling out also.
If they put him back on, he will be a bigger money loser, as he will have lost half his advertisers, and over 1/3 of the stations that carried him. Now, explain how putting him on makes sense.
I majored in broadcasting, so I know how this all works, and his little speech gave them what they needed to cancel him. Even then they tried to work with him, and he told them to F off.
SO where does this leave ABC. I suspect they want to bring hom back in a few weeks after its settles down, but it has moved past that. The advertisers will still be gone, and absent an apology like demanded from the affricates, they will probably not carry him.
Now they may bring him back just to prove he wasn’t cancelled for free speech but without advertisers and stations carrying him, what would be the point? Get token leftists points. They already have turned on ABC and Disney anyway. His show will be losing even more money.
And off topic, but Disney has now managed to piss off everyone. Good job guys. Ran off conservatives, and families first, and now the left hates you anyway. Pure genius guys...
