Dozens of channels from local ABC stations will broadcast a remembrance of Charlie Kirk in place of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Friday, following the sudden and shocking suspension of Disney’s long-time face of late night on Wednesday evening.
The channels belong to Sinclair, one of the biggest local station owners in the U.S. and the largest ABC affiliate group. Sinclair said in a statement on Thursday that the suspension of Kimmel’s show is “not enough,” and called for ABC parent company Disney as well as the Federal Communications Commission to take additional action.
