“giving the two companies a combined reach of 63 ABC stations nationwide.”

How much of a market share is that I wonder.

Since when does 38 and 33 equal 63? Clearly math isn’t a prerequisite for a journalism degree.

That will likely cost Kimmel a couple hundred viewers.

Those two should pay AntennaTV at that time and simulcast it when Johnny Carson is on. They’ll make more money than with Kimmel.

244 ABC Affiliate Stations in the USA.

66/244 = 27%

Not bad, but I wish it was more than half.

This is very entertaining! Doesn’t matter how many stations there are, 70+ across the country is impressive and I for one am thankful!!

Some of those stations are in large markets.

I’m just guessing but that 27% of stations might represent as much as 40% of potential households.

Jimmy boy was losing money without losing that potential audience.

ABC will pay a HIGH price in many different ways just to quiet down the coastal elites.

That will still leave him with around 750 kool-aid aficionados, eh?

*******
I suppose it all depends on where the stations are located. If they are located in a small to medium market, it won’t mean too much. However, is some of the stations are located in Large to major markets, it could definitely have an effect.
