Why did ABC affiliates pull Jimmy Kimmel Live and what does it mean for viewers?
Live from NPR News, I'm Lakshmi Singh. Although Jimmy Kimmel's late night show was recently reinstated by its broadcaster ABC, it will not air on stations owned by Either Sinclair Broadcast Group or Nextstar Media Group. Pierre Znetta Uliby reports. That is more than twenty percent of ABC affiliates nationwide.
Next star and Sinclair both operate local TV stations around the country, including dozens of ABC affiliates. Both companies pulled the show Jimmy Kimmel Live from their local stations last week under pressure from etc chair Brendan Carr. Nextar needs FTC approval right now to finalize a merger that would make it the largest owner of local stations in the country. In a statement, the company said it needed assurance that Jimmy Kimmelive will foster what it called respectful constructive dialogue. It said in the meantime fans can watch the show on many Disney owned streaming services. Sinclair Broadcast Group said yesterday its ABC stations around the country will continue to preempt GIML too, and said discussions with ABC are ongoing.

президент Трамк Унида НАСАЛИТОЦІПЕНЕЛ. He railed against the international body in a lengthy speech at the eightieth UN General Assembly in New York today. Trump criticized European allies over immigration, their support for a Palestinian state, and their advocacy for clean energy. Trump said climate change mitigation efforts are a con job.
What were Donald Trump’s accusations about climate policy at the UN General Assembly?
If you don't get away from this green scam, your country is going to fail. And I'm really good at predicting things, you know. They actually said during the campaign Yeah, they had. The best selling hat. Trump was right about everything. And I don't say that in a braggadocious way, but it's true.
The White House says Trump was due to meet with the leaders of Ukraine, the European Union, and Argentina, whose struggling economy Washington has pledged to support. Trump has endorsed libertarian president Javier Milet for re election. US lawmakers visiting China push for more engagement as well as the sale of Boeing airplanes. NPR's Anthony Kuhn reports due to political tensions, it's the first bipartisan delegation from the House of Representatives to visit China since twenty nineteen.
Representative Adam Smith said more dialogue is needed because right now the two countries are essentially talking past each other. Smith said US and Chinese military planes and ships are coming too close to each other, and their militaries need to step up their dialogue. The delegation met with China's number two official, Premier Li Chang, and Defense Minister Dongjun. Boeing's sales to China have tanked amid the tensions, but US Ambassador to Beijing David Perdue said negotiations for a major deal are in their final stages.
How are U.S. and Chinese lawmakers addressing military tensions and trade talks?
President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are expected to meet next month on the sidelines of a regional summit in Gyeongju, South Korea. Anthony Kuhn in PR New's Soul.
From Washington, this is NPR News. A jury is now deliberating whether to convict or acquit the man accused of plotting to assassinate the President Trump at his Florida Golf Club last year. Closing arguments ended today in Ryan Ruth's trial. Prosecutors argue Ruth planned the attack on Trump for months. Ruth, who was representing himself at trial, argued that prosecutors failed to prove intent to kill. Ruth spoke about himself in the third person. Former Vice President Kamala Harris kicks off her nationwide book tour tomorrow in New York, NPR's Deep A Shivram reports. The book One Hundred Seven Days chronicles Harris's run for the White House last year. After President Biden dropped out of the race.
The memoir is written candidly as Harris recalls chaotic and frustrating moments from the campaign, including a call with Biden right before Harris was headed out to the debate stage where she says the president spoke at length about himself and questioned her loyalty. She also writes about her own running mate selection process, revealing that her first choice was actually former transportation secretary Pete Budic, but she didn't think America would support a ticket with a black woman president, a Jewish first gentleman, and a gay vice president.
