Nexstar Media Group, a major television station operator, will not air "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" after its temporary suspension by Disney following Kimmel's comments on the Charlie Kirk shooting. Nexstar, along with Sinclair Broadcast Group, cited the comments as "ill-timed and insensitive." This decision affects numerous ABC affiliates and impacts the show's reach and advertising revenue. The situation escalated after FCC Chairman Brendan Carr urged broadcasters to take action, creating pressure on Disney. Disney's reversal of the suspension followed an open letter from over 400 celebrities opposing censorship. Nexstar's decision comes amid its pending $6.2 billion acquisition of Tegna, subject to FCC approval.

The push aims to centralize regulation at the federal level, limiting state‑level oversight of AI development and deployment.
