Where in America Can You Watch Jimmy Kimmel on TV Tonight?

by

Over the past week, Disney, Nexstar, and Sinclair have created a confusing situation around Jimmy Kimmel and his show. After ABC briefly pulled Kimmel off the air last Wednesday, they announced yesterday that *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* would return tonight. However, Sinclair quickly responded by saying they won’t be showing the program on their ABC stations, opting instead for news coverage. This morning, Nexstar joined them, announcing they also won’t air *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* until they’re sure everyone involved will promote respectful discussion in their local communities. They did point out that viewers can still watch the show on other platforms – a gesture that feels somewhat unhelpful.

As a big fan of late-night shows, this whole situation with *Jimmy Kimmel Live!* is a bit of a pain. Basically, about 60 local ABC stations, owned by Nexstar and Sinclair, aren’t showing the show right now. But thankfully, that only affects around 25% of viewers nationwide. If you subscribe to Hulu, Fubo, or YouTube TV, you won’t be able to watch it live in those areas, which is annoying. However, if you live in a Nexstar or Sinclair market and still want to see *Kimmel*, you can always catch the full episode on Hulu the next day – as long as you haven’t canceled your subscription! And hey, if you’re really trying to save money, there are always clips floating around on YouTube.

ABC owns stations in eight major cities: Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Raleigh-Durham, Fresno, and Houston. These stations, along with most others already affiliated with ABC, won’t be affected by recent changes. However, in around 60 other cities, stations will be impacted by Sinclair and Nexstar’s decision not to air *Kimmel*.
