5:01Now PlayingNexstar Media Group joined Sinclair Broadcast Group on Friday in bringing Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show back to its ABC-affiliated stations.
Both companies are ending a dayslong TV blackout imposed on the show over remarks Kimmel made in the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder.
"Our objective throughout this process has been to ensure that programming remains accurate and engaging for the widest possible audience," Sinclair said in a statement Friday afternoon. "We take seriously our responsibility as local broadcasters to provide programming that serves the interests of our communities, while also honoring our obligations to air national network programming."
New episodes of the show air Monday through Thursday. Friday night’s rerun will be of Tuesday’s show — so viewers of Sinclair stations can see Kimmel's emotional return to the air.
The company, which operates 38 ABC-affiliated stations, added that it had received "thoughtful feedback from viewers, advertisers and community leaders representing a wide range of perspectives," and noticed "troubling acts of violence," referencing the shooting into the lobby of a Sacramento station.
"These events underscore why responsible broadcasting matters and why respectful dialogue between differing voices remains so important," Sinclair added.
