Boycotting Sinclair
Right wing affiliate TV station owners Sinclair and Nexstar continue their embargo of Jimmy Kimmel. What can you do to #BoycottSinclair?
Well it's sort of tough. Affiliates make money by retransmission fees from cable, satellite, and live TV streaming, so if you have one of these you're supporting them. (see TV in the USA >>> https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/115261985305708087)
So, the easiest way is to cut the cord, cancel your cable service. Tell them it is because they carry Sinclair.

TV in the United States In the last few days we have learned a lot about how traditional TV in the US works. Let's summarize. There are major "networks" (CBS, NBC, ABC). They produce "network programming", shows and national news and sports, and distribute it through local stations called "network affiliates" owned by companies like Sinclair and Nexstar. Local affiliates pay the networks for the programming and make money inserting local ads. Networks also make money running network ads. 1/

"Nexstar Media Group said it would cont to preempt the show, “pending assurances that all parties are committed to fostering an environment of respectful, constructive dialogue in the markets we serve.” Sinclair said it would also keep Kimmel off its stations." https://apnews.com/article/jimmy-kimmel-returns-suspension-charlie-kirk-a29db3adb762b9b148d56ce88c24485c
