Jimmy Kimmel
I am not getting the Jimmy Kimmel show anymore. I want it back immediately.
Turnip should not affect what we watch on TV in Canada.
Please advise.

Telus does not control the content aired on the channels. Many of the ABC affiliate stations in the US are refusing to air Kimmel. (article: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy4j0zldevyo )
Go watch him on his YouTube channel instead: https://www.youtube.com/@JimmyKimmelLive/videos

Hi Jim, we totally get how frustrating it is to lose access to your favorite show. As Nighthawk mentioned, we don’t control what broadcasters choose to air on their channels. But you can still enjoy it via the alternative Nighthawk suggested.
It's amazing on how many people relate this to Trump when it had nothing to do with him or the FCC. His comments reflected poorly on Disney, ABC's parent company. His sucking up to his employers on his first night back was a good indication of that. Affiliate stations have the right to decide what they air and what they don't. Over 40 affiliates across the US have currently decided to not air his show.

Nighthawk's got it right, but quick top up; but CityTV is still airing Jimmy Kimmel Live! if you want to record it, catch up using restart or watch live on Optik TV.
🤣🤣🤣
Ban Kimmel and Colbert from Canadian TV
