The company continued, \u201cIn the meantime, we note that \u2018Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/a>\u2019 will be available nationwide on multiple Disney-owned streaming products, while our stations will focus on continuing to produce local news and other programming relevant to their respective markets.\u201d<\/p>\n
