Boycott Sinclair News - undecided on Disney+ - they should stream Kimmel


Sinclair has decided it will pre-empt Kimmel and show local news.
Good luck with that - I won't be watching. Most won't, so ratings will likely tank - we will see by how much
I am personally boycotting all WJLA and Sinclair local news - and may simply not watch them again - which sadly makes watching ABC news (with its commercial stacking in the bottom 10 minutes) a likely pass in favor of CBS in the same slot, or even NBC in the next.
Their national stories on Sinclair during local broadcast has a GOP slant and their local investigative reporting tends to go after Democrats, especially those of color and gender.
See ya, wouldn't want to be ya.

I may or may not restart my subscription to Disney+, which has technically not run out for the current month. Truth be told, I watch it for Dr. Who, Star Wars and Marvel. I follow the Doctor every week there is a new episode and binge the rest - so I don't need to stream every month.

Paramount and Peacock show network shows in a way that Disney does not. If they did - especially if they streamed Kimmel (especially while Sinclair pre-empts him), then I may watch every night - although usually I just watch the monologues of all late night shows on YouTube.

If all the streaming services put their late night round up on live each night, YouTube would lose its "must watch" status - unless I am doing my own show. A lot of creators put up "must watch" content too frequently, so it seems like work to watch them. I have too much work to do as a writer to stick with that routine - or put up with all of the latest AI content - especially the space operas where Earth Mechanics end up bonding with Alien Queens. The anti-Trump lawyers have gotten shrill and Ukraine War stuff has gotten less current. It's hard to keep a channel going without repeating yourself. It becomes even harder to watch. Facebook is also going down that road.
