Jimmy Kimmel Live! resumed on most ABC stations on September 23, 2025, after Disney reversed a suspension following controversial remarks about the alleged assassin of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. Despite the network's return, Sinclair-owned ABC affiliates and some Nexstar stations continue to withhold the show, citing inappropriate content and demanding an apology and donation to the Kirk family and Turning Point USA. Sinclair maintains its decision based on internal broadcast standards, highlighting a growing divide between media companies over political commentary. The show remains available on other ABC affiliates nationwide.
