Thinking of canceling Disney+? You’re not alone—after Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension, so many people rushed to quit that the cancellation page itself started crashing.

    From what I understand based on Colbert’s monologue, their motivations for suspending Kimmel is completely monetary based. ABC affiliate company Nexstar made a $6.2 billion deal to acquire TEGNA Inc and Disney which owns ABC made a deal to get some NFL assets in exchange for a 10% stake in ESPN (valued at around $3 billion).

    Both of these acquisitions will need FCC approval to go through. Take a guess at what they’re willing to do to get that approval.

      Sinclair is already a monopoly that holds 100x more influence than any company should ever be allowed… therefore all participants motivations are entirely criminal; only to further entrench their pre-existing illegal monopoly.
