it's a much bigger story going on behind it all. The company behind a lot of the local tv stations wants a 6billion deal to take over another local tv station company, but if they did the takeover it would break competion rules. So, the FCC basically put it to the company that if they put pressure on ABC to take Kimmel off the air, they would look favourably on them breaking competition rules
