Correct: A local station is actually far more sensitive to boycotts than ABC

Unless they become hard-line and demand that all stations carry all programming, they will face to nothing very quickly.

The stations that refuse to carry Jimmy Kimmel are only hurting themselves, not ABC. ABC is not the one making themselves irrelevant. That's Sinclair & Nexstar.

Should provide a free feed of Jimmy Kimmel Live for people that can't see the show because of their local TV station boycotting it.

You won't see it live, but you can still watch the next day. It's how I usually watch those shows, anyway, since I'm usually asleep by the time they come on the air.

So, fuck Nexstar, which owns my local affiliate. Ditto for Sinclair.
