News Channel 3-12 to Broadcast Jimmy Kimmel LIVE

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT) – On Monday it was announced the Jimmy Kimmel late-night show would be returning after a temporary suspension by ABC amid criticism of the host's comments on the assassination of the late Charlie Kirk.

Broadcasting companies Sinclair and Nexstar have decided to keep Jimmy Kimmel off the air at their ABC affiliated stations across the country, "to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country."

Your News Channel 3-12 (KEYT) is owned by News-Press & Gazette Company, and as an ABC affiliated station, Jimmy Kimmel will run tonight on News Channel 3.

Kimmel is planning to address the controversy in his monologue on Tuesday night, a source familiar with Kimmel’s plans told CNN. His show airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m.
