Sinclair will preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live! across its ABC affiliate stations beginning Tuesday night and will replace the program with news programming. Sinclair said that it and ABC are evaluating the show’s potential return. Nexstar previously announced it would pull the program from its lineup and its decision to follow Sinclair is unclear. Nexstar is the largest local broadcast group in the U.S. and recently agreed to acquire Tegna, the fourth-largest local broadcaster, in an all-cash deal valued at $6.2 billion. Uncertainty persists about whether other local affiliates will also preempt the show ahead of any return.
