On May 13, 2025, at North Javits in NYC, all-star talent will showcase upcoming projects for the year, emphasizing storytelling, Disney, and connections.

Sinclair will return “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to its ABC affiliate broadcast stations following Disney’s temporary suspension of the show due to comments made by Kimmel.

Station owners Sinclair and Nexstar Media Group initially preempted Kimmel’s show in 20% of the country, prompting discussions with Disney and ongoing evaluations.
Kimmel addressed the situation during his show, expressing disappointment in the preemptions affecting a significant portion of viewers.
Sinclair proposed measures to strengthen accountability and community dialogue at ABC and its affiliates, aiming to enhance trust and accountability. Disney has not yet adopted these measures.
Kimmel’s suspension and subsequent preemptions of the show by Sinclair and Nexstar were independent decisions not influenced by government interaction or pressure.
Sen. Maria Cantwell urged Sinclair to bring “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” back on air, emphasizing the importance of free speech and access to diverse programming for viewers.
