I hope people don’t reactivate their subscription.
Another one bites the dust..... Jimmy Kimmel just got suspended indefinitely .... SINCLAIR & NEXSTAR END BOYCOTT
- Thread starter lightbright
- Start date
The smart thing too do is hold out until January 1, 2026.
September 30th is the end of Wall Street 3rd Quarter.
4th Quarter starts October 1 and ends December 31, 2025.
More than enough time to hurt Disney’s bottom line and teach them a lesson.
During those 3 months, to win back customers they are gonna have to slash prices big time on everything from Disney+, Theme Parks/Resorts, Cruise Lines and other shit.
Disney has been jacking shit up on everything since the pandemic taking advantage of folks.
They gonna have to basically give shit away free by December.
They won’t go bankrupt, they will rebound next year easily.
But it will teach Disney and these other corporations a lesson.
With Kimmel, Disney had to too learn the hard way from what Sam Walton stated when he was alive…
Must going to be good if the promos have the announcer talking in a serious voice..
"Jimmy welcomes Gov.Gavin Newsom,plus other surprise guests..
JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE returns tonight (pause)..here on ABC."
"Jimmy welcomes Gov.Gavin Newsom,plus other surprise guests..
JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE returns tonight (pause)..here on ABC."
Thing is it's not Disney is the problem, its those right wing companies buying up all the local broadcasts.
He should have just gone ham then quit live on air. He’s already wild rich . If I were him I’d go out with a bang and do a 30 minute fuck you monologue then get on cable like HBO or something. I’d be like fuck this station , fuck Trump and fuck all you magat scum.
Gavin Newsom cancelled at the last minute..
I ain’t resubscribing to shit, fuck em and I love that the activism worked to fuck up their pockets. They just showed everybody what really hurts them.

Sinclair, one of the two major station groups that preempted the ABC talk show earlier this month, said Friday that it will bring the show back starting that same evening.
Sinclair indicated in a statement that ABC did not accept any of its proposals, like the hiring of a “network-wide independent ombudsman.”
“As a company rooted in local stations, Sinclair remains committed to serving our communities with programming that reflects their priorities, earns their trust, and promotes constructive dialogue,” Sinclair said in a statement. “We look forward to continuing to work with ABC to deliver content that serves a broad spectrum of our communities.”]
Nexstar, the other major station group blacking out Kimmel, did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment about its plans.
On Thursday night Kimmel made light of the preemptions in his monologue.
“Even though we are still being preempted in 60 American cities, on Tuesday, we had our second-highest rated show in almost 23 years on the air,” he said. “Our monologue from Tuesday night has more than 21 million views just on YouTube alone. And I want to say, we couldn’t have done it without you, Mr. President. Thank you very much. We got the Trump bump, and we appreciate it.”
WINNING!!!!

Disney saw more than double the typical number of customers cancel their Disney+ and Hulu subscriptions in September — when subscribers threatened to quit because of Jimmy Kimmel's brief suspension.
It appears some of those subscribers followed through on their boycott threat and canceled, according to new subscription data from research firm Antenna.
The data firm said 8% of Disney+ subscribers and 10% of Hulu customers in the US canceled in September. The services usually lose 4% to 5% of their customers a month, in line with the industry average, the data firm said.
Those subscription churn rates appear to be the highest since at least April 2023, based on Antenna's past monthly reports.
Disney+ was dropped by 3 million US subscribers in September, while 4.1 million cancelled Hulu, Antenna told Business Insider. Those cancellation figures are more than double the averages of 1.2 million and 1.9 million, respectively, in the last three months.
A Disney spokesperson declined to comment…
