Nexstar made a decision to preempt Jimmy Kimmel's show, which it claims was made unilaterally. However, there is conflicting information on whether the preemption has ended, with some outlets reporting that Nexstar and Sinclair have restored the show to their local stations, while others indicate that the preemption may continue. The preemption was reportedly related to comments Jimmy Kimmel made about Charlie Kirk, which led to ABC pulling the show indefinitely.
