Yeah, this was predictable. They needed to do some virtue signaling for Trump, but they didn't want to fight ABC. Of course, this might become a live issue again when FCC waivers are being discussed next year.

No, no, no. You've got it backwards. We were told repeatedly it was financially unfeasible to keep Kimmel on the air. It simply cannot be that affiliates now find it financially unfeasible to keep Kimmel off the air.Missing out on that money huh?

Disney reportedly lost 1.7 million paid subscribers in the week after suspending Kimmel
An independent reporter claims that more than 1.7 million paying subscribers canceled their plans to DIsney streaming services.
That’s more people than I would have guessed.

And they managed to increase the bleeding by throwing a rate hike on the people who didn't cancel.
