He threatened their broadcasting license. Trump has since threatened the broadcasting licenses of any network that talks bad about him.
No, he did not use his power as a regulator to force anyone to do anything about Kimmel's comments. Have you seen anything other than his own generic comment on the podcast as a source? Even any off-the-record comments from officials from ABC or affiliates? Why is that? Because the affiliates dumped the show due to Kimmel's not just unprofessional but incredibly untimely comments, which in turn forced ABC's hand to dump an already unprofitable show in long term ratings decline.
To the extent that fear of what regulators might do had an impact in decisions of either affiliates or network....tell me: do you normally drive the speed limit, or at least close enough to it to avoid getting a ticket? Do you pump your brakes when you see a Highway Patrol car? Ever had a HiPo look at you and flash his lights for a second as he passed you? Did you slow down?

On Wednesday Brendan Carr, the chairman of the F.C.C., publicly condemned Mr. Kimmel's remarks as "truly sick" and hinted at possible regulatory action against ABC. Speaking on a right-wing podcast, he warned that the network could "do this the easy or hard way," signaling serious consequences if it didn't respond.

Thank you for correcting the record. Carr did not call or write or make any explicit threat to any of the entitles involved in this. He spoke obliquely, generically, and conditionally. At worst, they motivated network and affiliates to take remedial action that were going to happen anyway - the show was losing audience share, losing money, and consistently out of touch with broader public sentiment. Kimmel's comments were on licensed public airwaves, manifestly false, manifestly mean & divisive, and easily crossed the regulatory line of condoning if not inciting violence - comparable to yelling fire in a crowded theater.
What Carr did was the lightest touch possible on something that did need touching - leftists are on a murder rampage, and half the country is alarmed by it. Oblique comments on a relatively obscure podcast are a galactic universe away from what the Biden Admin did - hollering and screaming at private entities to deplatform their political opponents for speaking things we now know conclusively to be true.

I grabbed some of your copy for my text file on this WhiteRock. Here is the revised version
The Jimmy Kimmel suspension
A massive Public uprising triggered individual complaints to advertisers about Jimmy Kimmel.
The varied advertisers complained to their local and national syndicators about Jimmy Kimmel
The various local and national syndicators went to Disney/ABC and complained.
Disney/ABC has been documented saying that in 2026, Kimmel was going away regardless of what happened in Sept 2025
Advertisers pay based on ratings. With ratings slipping, Disney/ABC had a responsibility to its shareholders.
Disney/ABC was losing $20-30 million per year on Kimmel, and ratings were getting worse. This had been going on for several years.
Kimmel goes berserk on air, attacks half the nation, MAGA/Trump supporters
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr calls Kimmel's malicious lies are "truly sick" and says they should result in Kimmel's immediate suspension. My guess is that Disney/ABC took that into consideration but it would appear that they already had decided to ditch Kimmel. Carr did not call or write or make any explicit threat to any of the entities involved in this.
Disney/ABC takes advantage of this and suspends Kimmel to stop the negative cash flow and to stop the alleged comedian from digging his hole deeper
In a nutshell, Kimmel show was a financial loser. Disney/ABC took advantage of this moment to cut ties.
In one opinion, the show was losing audience share, losing money, and consistently out of touch with broader public sentiment. Kimmel's comments were on licensed public airwaves, manifestly false, manifestly mean & divisive, and easily crossed the regulatory line of condoning if not inciting violence - comparable to yelling fire in a crowded theater.

I'm surprised you don't know a little more about the business. Late night shows make money in indirect ways. Their value has never been measured solely in terms of direct profit. They have suffered from a failure to monetize online views effectively, but that's not the fault of Kimmel or any particular TV host.

I'm surprised you don't know a little more about the business. Late night shows make money in indirect ways. Their value has never been measured solely in terms of direct profit. They have suffered from a failure to monetize online views effectively, but that's not the fault of Kimmel or any particular TV host.
My guess is that I know more about "The Biz" than anyone on this board except Derek Haas.

And you have no clue to what you are speaking of. Disney and ABC lost millions of dollars because folks didnt think Kimmel was funny. They hadn't for years

he's just doing what lefties do....making stuff up to justify feeling the way he feels. Carr took no action to do anything regarding Kimmel's comments. Here merely observed, verbally, on a podcast that the affiliates had the ability to do what they ultimately did - remove inflammatory programming that offended viewers.
Look carefully at the facts here:

I wonder what Porter said that time Twitter and others kicked a sitting US President off their platforms during the homestretch of an election over inflammatory speech
He threatened their broadcasting license. Trump has since threatened the broadcasting licenses of any network that talks bad about him.
No, he did not use his power as a regulator to force anyone to do anything about Kimmel's comments. Have you seen anything other than his own generic comment on the podcast as a source? Even any off-the-record comments from officials from ABC or affiliates? Why is that? Because the affiliates dumped the show due to Kimmel's not just unprofessional but incredibly untimely comments, which in turn forced ABC's hand to dump an already unprofitable show in long term ratings decline.
To the extent that fear of what regulators might do had an impact in decisions of either affiliates or network....tell me: do you normally drive the speed limit, or at least close enough to it to avoid getting a ticket? Do you pump your brakes when you see a Highway Patrol car? Ever had a HiPo look at you and flash his lights for a second as he passed you? Did you slow down?
NYT:
On Wednesday Brendan Carr, the chairman of the F.C.C., publicly condemned Mr. Kimmel's remarks as "truly sick" and hinted at possible regulatory action against ABC. Speaking on a right-wing podcast, he warned that the network could "do this the easy or hard way," signaling serious consequences if it didn't respond.
Thank you for correcting the record. Carr did not call or write or make any explicit threat to any of the entitles involved in this. He spoke obliquely, generically, and conditionally. At worst, they motivated network and affiliates to take remedial action that were going to happen anyway - the show was losing audience share, losing money, and consistently out of touch with broader public sentiment. Kimmel's comments were on licensed public airwaves, manifestly false, manifestly mean & divisive, and easily crossed the regulatory line of condoning if not inciting violence - comparable to yelling fire in a crowded theater.
What Carr did was the lightest touch possible on something that did need touching - leftists are on a murder rampage, and half the country is alarmed by it. Oblique comments on a relatively obscure podcast are a galactic universe away from what the Biden Admin did - hollering and screaming at private entities to deplatform their political opponents for speaking things we now know conclusively to be true.
If your take is accurate, where is the lawsuit?
I grabbed some of your copy for my text file on this WhiteRock. Here is the revised version
The Jimmy Kimmel suspension
A massive Public uprising triggered individual complaints to advertisers about Jimmy Kimmel.
The varied advertisers complained to their local and national syndicators about Jimmy Kimmel
The various local and national syndicators went to Disney/ABC and complained.
Disney/ABC has been documented saying that in 2026, Kimmel was going away regardless of what happened in Sept 2025
Advertisers pay based on ratings. With ratings slipping, Disney/ABC had a responsibility to its shareholders.
Disney/ABC was losing $20-30 million per year on Kimmel, and ratings were getting worse. This had been going on for several years.
Kimmel goes berserk on air, attacks half the nation, MAGA/Trump supporters
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr calls Kimmel's malicious lies are "truly sick" and says they should result in Kimmel's immediate suspension. My guess is that Disney/ABC took that into consideration but it would appear that they already had decided to ditch Kimmel. Carr did not call or write or make any explicit threat to any of the entities involved in this.
Disney/ABC takes advantage of this and suspends Kimmel to stop the negative cash flow and to stop the alleged comedian from digging his hole deeper
In a nutshell, Kimmel show was a financial loser. Disney/ABC took advantage of this moment to cut ties.
In one opinion, the show was losing audience share, losing money, and consistently out of touch with broader public sentiment. Kimmel's comments were on licensed public airwaves, manifestly false, manifestly mean & divisive, and easily crossed the regulatory line of condoning if not inciting violence - comparable to yelling fire in a crowded theater.
It's funny how you're bending over backwards to make this about money when the broadcasters aren't even pretending any more. They've offered to reinstate him if he apologizes, donates to TPUSA, and promises to kowtow in the future.
It's all about control.

On Wednesday Brendan Carr, the chairman of the F.C.C., publicly condemned Mr. Kimmel's remarks as "truly sick" and hinted at possible regulatory action against ABC. Speaking on a right-wing podcast, he warned that the network could "do this the easy or hard way," signaling serious consequences if it didn't respond.
Thank you for correcting the record. Carr did not call or write or make any explicit threat to any of the entitles involved in this. He spoke obliquely, generically, and conditionally. At worst, they motivated network and affiliates to take remedial action that were going to happen anyway - the show was losing audience share, losing money, and consistently out of touch with broader public sentiment. Kimmel's comments were on licensed public airwaves, manifestly false, manifestly mean & divisive, and easily crossed the regulatory line of condoning if not inciting violence - comparable to yelling fire in a crowded theater.
What Carr did was the lightest touch possible on something that did need touching - leftists are on a murder rampage, and half the country is alarmed by it. Oblique comments on a relatively obscure podcast are a galactic universe away from what the Biden Admin did - hollering and screaming at private entities to deplatform their political opponents for speaking things we now know conclusively to be true.
If your take is accurate, where is the lawsuit?
I grabbed some of your copy for my text file on this WhiteRock. Here is the revised version
The Jimmy Kimmel suspension
A massive Public uprising triggered individual complaints to advertisers about Jimmy Kimmel.
The varied advertisers complained to their local and national syndicators about Jimmy Kimmel
The various local and national syndicators went to Disney/ABC and complained.
Disney/ABC has been documented saying that in 2026, Kimmel was going away regardless of what happened in Sept 2025
Advertisers pay based on ratings. With ratings slipping, Disney/ABC had a responsibility to its shareholders.
Disney/ABC was losing $20-30 million per year on Kimmel, and ratings were getting worse. This had been going on for several years.
Kimmel goes berserk on air, attacks half the nation, MAGA/Trump supporters
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr calls Kimmel's malicious lies are "truly sick" and says they should result in Kimmel's immediate suspension. My guess is that Disney/ABC took that into consideration but it would appear that they already had decided to ditch Kimmel. Carr did not call or write or make any explicit threat to any of the entities involved in this.
Disney/ABC takes advantage of this and suspends Kimmel to stop the negative cash flow and to stop the alleged comedian from digging his hole deeper
In a nutshell, Kimmel show was a financial loser. Disney/ABC took advantage of this moment to cut ties.
In one opinion, the show was losing audience share, losing money, and consistently out of touch with broader public sentiment. Kimmel's comments were on licensed public airwaves, manifestly false, manifestly mean & divisive, and easily crossed the regulatory line of condoning if not inciting violence - comparable to yelling fire in a crowded theater.
It's funny how you're bending over backwards to make this about money when the broadcasters aren't even pretending any more. They've offered to reinstate him if he apologizes, donates to TPUSA, and promises to kowtow in the future.
It's all about control.
Disney/ABC losing $20-30 million per year from one professional financial loser. How in the world would they explain that to shareholders?
Your indoctrination by the left continues
I'm surprised you don't know a little more about the business. Late night shows make money in indirect ways. Their value has never been measured solely in terms of direct profit. They have suffered from a failure to monetize online views effectively, but that's not the fault of Kimmel or any particular TV host.
My guess is that I know more about "The Biz" than anyone on this board except Derek Haas.
I've got probably a hundred more of these... how about you? Any experience in the industry?
And you have no clue to what you are speaking of. Disney and ABC lost millions of dollars because folks didnt think Kimmel was funny. They hadn't for years
Nice pics, Assassin. What industry were you in? I could've swore you said you did something with the cruise ships
I did both. Worked on ships as the Chief Purser or Hotel Manager, and a lot of other things. I was that Rolling Stone you hear about. Writing a book about it now, should be finished by Christmas, contract with TCU press is signed, published by next summer. "Searching for Lone Star: A Tale of Two Brothers". About me and my brother, John W Kearns, Vietnam vet and then 3 tours in Laos as CIA. KIA in Paksong, Laos in Dec 1972, a month before the ceasefire. My bio and history is in there, but a ton of info on what John did in the war in Vietnam and also Laos, the most bombed country in history. He ran a troop of Hmong, Thai irregulars, Laotian Army and others. The Ho Chi Minh Trail ran through Laos and that is how the NVA brought troops up and down the side of Vietnam to attack our troops. Absolutely facinating story for both of us. TCU Press and I think so anyway. John is in the Book of Honor at Langley and one of the named stars on The Wall
Will be looking for my autographed copy !
Everybody here that buys a copy will get an absolutely free autograph! ;^)
