Smith further clarified that Sinclair stations — considered the nation’s largest group of ABC local TV affiliates — will not air “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” until “we are confident that appropriate steps have been taken to uphold the standards expected of a national broadcast platform.”

The Walt Disney Company announced Monday that Jimmy Kimmel Live! will return to air on Tuesday following a weeklong suspension over his monologue about Charlie Kirk’s murder.
