          If it’s big enough news the other % will see it. We live in multimedia age afterall.

          I didn’t realize they were blocking it though. That’s hilarious. Fuckem.

              I thought it started with his firing? It didn’t seem like a show buildup at all. Just bam he’s fired.

                It was a little behind the scenes.

                They’re trying to get the right to own a higher percentage of local syndicate markets than is legal.

                Edit: That article doesn’t really get into it but Nextsar was the first to take Kimmel off the air before dit was ABC-wide.

        Basically the whole thing, minus commercials, is on their Youtube account.

        https://youtu.be/c1tjh_ZO_tY

        I’m sure there are individual clips from like ABC and random individuals uploading as well.
