Bill,
The local distribution networks took the guy off the air.
That's a distinction that makes no difference.

The corporate big wigs all feared Trump. Nexstar and Sinclair, the owners of the local distribution networks that were going to take Kimmel off the air, all feared the FCC. The FCC chair claimed credit for it on Benny Johnson's Z-propaganda channel:

Disney Pulls Jimmy Kimmel’s Show After Kirk Remarks (WSJ)

Nexstar is currently seeking FCC approval for their multi-billion dollar acquisition of another broadcasting company. Totally not a conflict of interest, AMIRITE?

Sinclair also feared backlash from the Trump regime and his cultists, which is why they demanded Kimmel apologize for his remarks. Most of the 30 ABC affiliates that they operate are in "red states" or "red regions" ... en.wikipedia.org

Disney could have kept Kimmel on the air, but they chose the coward's way out because again, they feared Trump.

No matter how you spin this, the corporate big wigs all cancelled Kimmel under tremendous political pressure from Trump and the 40% of Americans who still support him.

That's government censorship no matter how you slice it. It has nothing to do with ratings, despite what the Z-trolls Tim Pool and Benny Johnson are telling you.
