Nexstar Media Group, one of the largest owners of broadcast TV stations, said it would not air the return of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Tuesday.

The company joins Sinclair, which said Monday it didn’t plan to air the late-night show, and instead would show other programming.

Huh.

So much for that “free speech thingy” the right wing keeps saying only democrats take away from Americans.

Huh.

The original situation still exists: they both want favors from the FCC. Meanwhile, so many stations not carrying the show with "create a fact" of the show's ratings falling to a level where it's unsustainable, and ABC cancels it for low ratings. In B-school, this is known as "setting him up to fail".
