Nexstar Media Group said Tuesday that the ABC stations it owns and partners with will not resume airing "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" even as Disney brings the program back nationally.
The show "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," Nexstar said Tuesday.
Nexstar’s announcement adds to Sinclair, another major local TV operator, which said Monday that it would not air Kimmel’s show.
Together, Nexstar and Sinclair account for about 70 ABC affiliates, meaning Kimmel’s return will not be available over broadcast to tens of millions in the U.S.
