Nextar plus Sinclair = 71 affiliates
Total ABC affiliates = 250.
Jimmy coming back 75%
71 is a big hit in audience estimates used to generate ad rates. The show is already losing money. If it continues, it will leave a mark.
This will be a good test to see how the Nexstar and Sinclair ratings match up against Kimmel head to head.
Imagine Kimmel getting pounded by Family Feud reruns?
(Which may be Disney’s plan to justify finally cancelling Kimmel’s show after November sweeps)
