First, the media group stated it would not consider reinstating the program until “formal discussions are held with ABC regarding the network’s commitment to professionalism.” In short, not only must Kimmel act – ABC must also reassure Sinclair that such incidents won’t happen again.

Next, “a direct apology to the Kirk family” is non-negotiable. Sinclair emphasized the need for a personal and public acknowledgment of the pain caused by Kimmel’s remarks.

Lastly, Kimmel “must make a meaningful personal donation” to both the Kirk family and Turning Point USA. This stipulation appears to signal Sinclair’s desire to both recognize the humanitarian fallout and restore goodwill with the organization whose founder was targeted.

“Regardless of ABC’s plans for the future of the program, Sinclair intends not to return Jimmy Kimmel Live! to our air until we are confident that appropriate steps have been taken to uphold the standards expected of a national broadcast platform,” the post concludes.
