Kimmel’s ‘Return’ Might Not Mean ABC…

So Disney and ABC have been under pressure, and now Jimmy Kimmel is officially “back.” At first it sounds like his late-night spot on ABC is safe, right? Not so fast. Fans online are pointing out that the announcement could just mean his show will keep running on streaming platforms. It doesn’t necessarily guarantee his long-time presence on ABC’s actual broadcast schedule.

It’s a bit of a PR move, satisfy both the traditional network crowd and the growing streaming audience, without making firm promises about one or the other. The question is: are audiences really tuning in for late-night TV on ABC anymore, or is streaming the future of his brand?

What do you think? does “Kimmel’s return” actually matter if it’s mostly on streaming, or is network TV still the real stamp of success?
