Station owner Sinclair ticks up following news it won’t air Tuesday’s return of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

Disney on Monday said that Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show will return to ABC on Tuesday evening, ending the show’s nearly weeklong suspension. But not every television station will be airing it.

On Tuesday night, TV station owner Sinclair Inc., which says it’s the “largest ABC affiliate group,” announced that it will continue to keep “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” off of its ABC stations. The stations will instead show “news programming.” Sinclair shares rose nearly 4% on Tuesday morning.

The move highlights the power that companies like Sinclair and rival Nexstar have over deciding what content makes it across US airwaves. Together, the two companies control 20% of ABC affiliates — not accounting for Nexstar’s potential megamerger with Tegna.

Nexstar, which also ticked up Tuesday morning, has not announced its decision on airing Kimmel’s show Tuesday and did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Even ultimatums aren’t enough to drive America’s workers back to the office en masse

With media giants Paramount, AT&T and The New York Times joining Microsoft and Amazon in stepping up their office attendance requirements, Corporate America seems keen to return back to the old normal... if only their employees would heed the call.

A growing number of return-or-exit ultimatums and crackdowns from companies don’t seem to be moving the needle, as the share of time that Americans spend working from home has plateaued for much of the last year. Data first reported by The Wall Street Journal from the US Survey of Working Arrangements and Attitudes reveals that an average staffer has been spending about a quarter of their working time from home since 2023, when the share gradually dropped from a pandemic peak of 62%.
