A Boycott in Seattle
/While Sinclair’s preemption of Jimmy Kimmel Live might play well at KTXS, the Sinclair ABC station in Sweetwater, Texas, it’s a different story in Seattle.
At Sinclair’s KOMO, the viewers are not happy with the station pulling Kimmel’s show off the air and replacing it with the right-leaning National Desk.
U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell, a top Democrat on the Senate committee overseeing the Federal Communications Commission, called for Sinclair Broadcast Group to reinstate "Jimmy Kimmel Livel" on KOMO and more than two dozen ABC affiliates.
Viewers on social media are calling for advertisers to boycott KOMO, as viewers promise to do the same.
Sinclair continues to follow the “orders” from FCC Chair Bradon Carr and keep Kimmel off the air.
