Walt Disney-owned ABC has announced it will indefinitely stop airing "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" after remarks about Charlie Kirk's assassination.
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), responsible for regulating broadcasts Chair Brendan Carr - himself a close Trump ally - urged local broadcasters to stop airing the show on Wednesday.
Trump celebrated the decision online, congratulating the US ABC for "finally having the courage to do what had to be done".
The decision follows pressure from Trump on broadcasters to stop airing content he finds objectionable. California Democratic senator Adam Schiff recently suggested "political interference" was behind the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which will end in May 2026.
