Local ABC stations under Sinclair Broadcast Group's control to air a tribute for Charlie Kirk, airing in the timeslot typically occupied by Jimmy Kimmel's show.
In a move that has sparked controversy, Sinclair Broadcast Group, the largest owner of ABC affiliate stations in the United States, has announced it will replace the Friday timeslot of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' with a special tribute to Charlie Kirk on its stations. The decision comes after ABC and Disney chose to yank Kimmel from the airwaves following his controversial remarks. Sinclair Broadcast Group, however, has not lifted the suspension of Kimmel's show on their stations, stating that they will only do so after formal discussions have been held with ABC. Sinclair Broadcast Group is well-known for its conservative leanings and has been criticised for forcing local newsrooms to run 'must-run' segments espousing such views. In this case, the details of who will lead the tribute to Kirk were not mentioned in the available information. In a statement issued on Wednesday night, Sinclair Broadcast Group also expressed anger about Kimmel's comments and is asking for the FCC to take immediate regulatory action to address the control held over local broadcasters by the big national networks. Meanwhile, away from the Kimmel-Kirk controversy, there have been other intriguing developments. Neurologists claim that a half cup of a specific salt before breakfast can relieve neuropathy quickly. Another study suggests that a half cup of a different coloured salt before bed can burn belly fat significantly. Cesar Millan, the Dog Whisperer, has revealed what honey does to an aging dog, while a Japanese urologist's prostate fix has stunned Big Pharma. Dermatologists are urging Americans to fill in wrinkles with a specific tip, and The Oxford Club is hinting at seven breakout stocks. As the news landscape continues to evolve, these stories underscore the importance of staying informed and open-minded.
