Yesterday we told you that Sinclair was refusing to air Jimmy Kimmel on their ABC affiliate stations, and this morning Nexstar has done the same, saying they will continue preempting Kimmel until they can be assured he won’t do something like this again.

Here’s what their website states:

We made a decision last week to preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” following what ABC referred to as Mr. Kimmel’s “ill-timed and insensitive” comments at a critical time in our national discourse. We stand by that decision pending assurance that all parties are committed to fostering an environment of respectful, constructive dialogue in the markets we serve. In the meantime, we note that “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” 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.

These two affiliates make up about 62 out of the roughly 200 stations nationwide. So it is a big deal that they won’t carry Kimmel right now.
