Jimmy Kimmel moves Democrat interview to YouTube after FCC threats

Jimmy Kimmel has moved a scheduled interview with a Democratic candidate to YouTube after the FCC threatened his network and local stations with regulatory action. Kimmel stated the move was necessary to protect his broadcast partners from potential repercussions following his editorial choices.

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel has announced that he is moving a planned interview with a Democratic candidate to YouTube following threats of regulatory action from the Federal Communications Commission. Kimmel stated that the commission threatened his show, ABC, and its local affiliates over his editorial decision to host the guest. He emphasized that interviewing political candidates has been a standard practice in television for decades, comparing his current situation to his 2015 interview with Donald Trump during the former president's initial campaign.

Kimmel explained that he chose to shift the platform to protect local broadcast partners in Texas from potential legal or administrative repercussions. This move reflects a broader trend of increased scrutiny on television networks, as seen earlier this year when CBS allegedly prohibited Stephen Colbert from interviewing the same political figure. Concerns continue to grow regarding the influence of federal regulators on media independence, especially as former president Donald Trump has publicly advocated for stricter oversight of news outlets that are critical of his political administration.
