nexstar and Sinclair stations will not carry Kimmel--as of tonight

(GRA) There's an asterisk to this story.

(zh) "note: none of the nexstar or Sinclair affiliates will carry the show.

"despite Kimmel’s return, it is not immediately clear if his show will be available across the entire country. Sinclair, for its part, had said that it would not go back to running Kimmel’s show on its stations until the late night host apologized for his comments, met with Sinclair representatives and made a donation to turning point, the organization that Kirk founded. Sinclair, it should be noted, owns the abc station in the Washington, D.C., metro area, among other markets.

"nexstar, similarly, could also choose to continue to pre-empt the show, though of course it would still be accessible online across the country after it runs on abc. -hollywood reporter

GRA: abc noise's Matt Gutman (you know him) reported "Kimmel is coming back," but did not mention the small print of nexstar and Sinclair. In fact, wotv in grand rapids will NOT air the show, because it is a Sinclair-owned station.

As Mr. Burns would say in The Simpsons--"EXCELLENT."
