Sinclair Broadcast Group reversed its choice to air a Charlie Kirk tribute on its affiliate channels through the time slot usually reserved for Jimmy Kimmel Stay! Earlier within the week, the broadcaster pulled Kimmel’s late-night show following his feedback about Kirk’s assassination and introduced plans to run the tribute as a substitute at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT on Friday.
However shortly earlier than airtime, Sinclair issued an announcement on social media saying the tribute could be made obtainable on YouTube slightly than on tv. As a replacement, its associates aired ABC community programming — a re-run of Movie star Household Feud. No clarification was given for the abrupt programming change.
