Nexstar Media Group said Tuesday that it will continue to preempt Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night TV show after ABC announced it would allow the program to return after a weeklong hiatus following Kimmel’s remarks about conservative commentator Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

“We made a decision last week to preempt ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ following what ABC referred to as Mr. Kimmel’s ‘ill-timed and insensitive’ comments at a critical time in our national discourse,” the company said in a statement. “We stand by that decision pending assurance that all parties are committed to fostering an environment of respectful, constructive dialogue in the markets we serve.”
