"Disney's decision to reinstate Kimmel's show after benching him over comments he made in the wake of the killing of political activist Charlie Kirk might have quieted some critics, but it didn't signal the final act for the drama starring Disney's CEO."
"Soon after Disney announced the return of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," two top ABC affiliate operators, Sinclair Broadcasting Group and Nexstar Media Group, said they would continue to air alternative programming in place of the show."
"'Whether he's remembered as a CEO who made billions of dollars for this corporation, or as the one who made the right choices in difficult times, I think people will pay more attention to the difficult choices,' Christopher Myers, the faculty director of the Center for Innovative Leadership at the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, told Business Insider."
Disney reinstated Jimmy Kimmel Live! after previously benching the host over comments made in the wake of the killing of political activist Charlie Kirk. Two major ABC affiliate operators, Sinclair Broadcasting Group and Nexstar Media Group, said they will continue airing alternative programming instead of the show. Creative industry supporters largely welcomed the reinstatement, while some viewers who had threatened subscription cancellations said they will continue boycotts. Corporate observers warn the episode could shape CEO Bob Iger’s legacy during his remaining roughly 15-month contract, with decisions during controversies often defining leader reputations.
