03:46 PM EDT, 09/24/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Nexstar Media ( NXST ) , owner of the CW, said Wednesday it is in "productive discussions" with Walt Disney ( DIS ) about the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show, as it continues to keep the program off the air.

"Nexstar is continuing to evaluate the status of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on our ABC-affiliated local television stations, and the show will be preempted while we do so," the company said in a statement.

The media company pulled the show last week after the host, Jimmy Kimmel, made controversial comments regarding the shooting of activist Charlie Kirk.

"We are engaged in productive discussions with executives at The Walt Disney Company ( DIS ), with a focus on ensuring the program reflects and respects the diverse interests of the communities we serve," the company added.

Disney ( DIS ) did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
