cool story
TV viewership across the board has been dropping for years due to streaming, and with it ad revenue.
Since 2023, less than half the people who watch anything were watch TV at all.
Colbert and Kimmel were 1 and 2 in the time slot. They weren't losing in the ratings, TV was losing in viewership.

SGT (Join to see) - I'd buy that if the FCC threat was about a fine.
But it wasn't. The threat was about pulling the network license.

SGM Jeff Mccloud - I'm not seeing a threat to pull a license anywhere. I looked at Fox and CNN. What I see is major non-Disney ABC affiliates telling corporate that they're not going to air the show until there's some resolution to the Kimmel comment. It was Disney Corporation's choice totally and alone to pull the show.

How Brendan Carr, the attack-dog FCC chair, helped take down Jimmy Kimmel with words, not actions...
When Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr suggested Jimmy Kimmel should be suspended and said, “We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” ABC and its local affiliates were listening.

SGM Jeff Mccloud - None of those show a direct threat. Carr spoke in innuendo; Easy way, hard way, more work at FCC. Disney owns the ABC trademark, it doesn't own the stations broadcasting ABC content. If you feel the need to lay blame, put it at the feet of the station owners, where it belongs. I still stand by my previous comment.
