Sinclair Broadcast Group reversed its resolution to air a Charlie Kirk tribute on its affiliate channels throughout the time slot sometimes reserved for Jimmy Kimmel Reside! Earlier within the week, the broadcaster pulled Kimmel’s late-night present following his feedback about Kirk’s assassination and introduced plans to run the tribute as an alternative at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT on Friday.
However shortly earlier than airtime, Sinclair issued a press release on social media saying the tribute could be made accessible on YouTube relatively than on tv. As a substitute, its associates aired ABC community programming — a re-run of Superstar Household Feud. No rationalization was given for the abrupt programming change.
