"I agree, he might very well be back on these stations, but they are making a business decision that these comments are going to lose them money, she said."
"Frankly, when you see stuff like this, I mean look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way, Carr said on Wednesday about Kimmel, ahead of the suspension. These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead."
"They are making a business decision, ABC, for now at least, Ingraham said."
Laura Ingraham argued that FCC Chair Brendan Carr should have avoided public comments about Jimmy Kimmel before ABC indefinitely suspended Kimmel's late-night show. ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live! after Kimmel made comments referencing conservative activist Charlie Kirk's murder. Nexstar and Sinclair preempted or criticized the show, with Sinclair demanding an apology and a donation to Kirk's family or Turning Point USA. Ingraham characterized the suspensions as business decisions by local stations worried about offending audiences and losing revenue. Carr warned broadcasters that companies could change conduct or face additional FCC work. Critics connected Carr's remarks to the suspension and to the administration.
