The networks should tell these Sinclair/Nexstar affiliates that is they will not air the networks shows en mass,  then they no longer have exclusivity to that market and providers such as Comcast/YouTubeTV can offer alternative non-local station streams.  Drives these fuckers out of business if need be.

The blatant disregard - if not disdain - for consumers in this country right now is incredible. 

 

If the populace is too stupid to push back, or too disconnected to pay attention, this is what will happen. These companies care about profit in any way possible. Whatever it takes to hit their quarterly projections.

Huh.  Maybe outrage DOES have an effect.

Regarding PBS:  I may be old, but I will go to my imminent grave saying Austin City Limits, Antiques Roadshow, America's Test Kitchen, Cook's Country, Pati's Mexican Table (mmm Pati) and Samantha Brown all kick ass.

Samantha Brown can get it.

Consumers? Don't you mean profit extraction units?

30% too stupid.  20% complicit.  That 20% gets to the root of our problem.

No love for this old house? Or motor week?  Or Nova?

To the best of dotards knowledge, a network that airs content that is majority positive for a particular political party is in jeopardy of having made illegal campaign contributions to said party. 
PLEASE baby SCOTUS…make this so!

Zero chance ABC does anything to exacerbate the situation. They’re just praying for this one to pass.

Exactly.  They didn't do this because they had a change of heart and realized it was a blatant first amendment violation.  They did it because of the blowback.

First time I've watched Kimmel in years last night. I was kind of surprised they let him go all in.  I'm sure Jimmy told them he was going to have his say or wasn't doing the show.  Was pretty solid.

Jimmy doesn't need this show. Yes, he wants his staffers to have jobs but he could walk away forever and be just fine. He'd get a gig -- if he wanted one -- tomorrow. Kimmel was only going to come back IF he was allowed to do his show. He did the noble thing and extended an olive branch or two -- as any decent human being would do (hell, he said basically the same thing online the day of Kirk's death) -- and then went right back to ridiculing Trump's stupidity. As he should.

they did it for dollar signs, and if Sinclair wants to fuck around they'll find out. 

anyway Sinclair will keep up the performance until they get their merger approved then quietly add Kimmel back without fanfare.

That's now how this works. Once you bend the knee to Trump, he owns you. He will go after Sinclair if they try to pull that stunt.
