SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage) — Comedian Jimmy Kimmel and his show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” are set to return to air on Nexstar ABC affiliate stations on the night of Sept. 26.
Kimmel was suspended by ABC after controversial comments made by the comedian in reference to the assassination of political activist Charlie Kirk. Both Nexstar and the Sinclair Broadcasting Group pulled Kimmel from local ABC affiliates after the comments.
According to the official press release from Nexstar:
“We have had discussions with executives at The Walt Disney Company and appreciate their constructive approach to addressing our concerns. As a local broadcaster, Nexstar remains committed to protecting the First Amendment while producing and airing local and national news that is fact-based and unbiased and, above all, broadcasting content that is in the best interest of the communities we serve.
