Kimmel is back on ABC but Sinclair and Nexstar won't carry the program.

Sinclair won't because it would displease their dear leader. Sinclair publicly pledged their fealty and even had all of their news staff read the same prepared statement years ago.

Nexstar won't because they have a merger with TEGNA in the works that Carr will have to approve, since it would exceed even the already-too-large limit for the number of stations one company can own. This merger will make Nexstar the largest in the country by far.
