ABC Affiliates Air Celebrity Family Feud Re-Run Instead of Previously Announced Charlie Kirk Tribute

The post ABC Affiliates Air Celebrity Family Feud Re-Run Instead of Previously Announced Charlie Kirk Tribute appeared first on Consequence.

Sinclair Broadcast Group reversed its decision to air a Charlie Kirk tribute on its affiliate channels during the time slot typically reserved for Jimmy Kimmel Live! Earlier in the week, the broadcaster pulled Kimmel’s late-night show following his comments about Kirk’s assassination and announced plans to run the tribute instead at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT on Friday.

But shortly before airtime, Sinclair issued a statement on social media saying the tribute would be made available on YouTube rather than on television. In its place, its affiliates aired ABC network programming — a re-run of Celebrity Family Feud. No explanation was given for the abrupt programming change.
