Jimmy Kimmel’s Return Excludes Sinclair Stations: How to Watch in Ohio

Jimmy Kimmel is making a return to our television screens today, September 23, after being temporarily suspended by the Walt Disney Company for his remarks about Charlie Kirk’s death. Disney decided to pause the show to avoid escalating tensions during a sensitive time in the country. But after thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, they’ve decided to bring the show back.

However, not all TV stations are airing “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Sinclair Broadcast Group, which owns 38 ABC affiliate stations across the country, will not be showing the program on its channels. Instead, they will be airing news programming in its place. Discussions are ongoing between Sinclair and ABC regarding the show’s potential return.

In Ohio, Sinclair owns stations in five markets, with only two being ABC affiliates. These include WSYX TV-6 in Columbus and WKEF TV-22 in Dayton. To catch “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” you may need to look beyond Sinclair stations. Please check local listings for more details on where and how to watch the show.
