The Seattle Times:
Cantwell, advertisers pressure Seattle’s KOMO to air Jimmy Kimmel show
The quick reinstatement of Jimmy Kimmel is proof of our collective strength – but, Sinclair Broadcasting is still blocking the show on its local ABC affiliates here in Washington and nationwide.
Our Senator Maria Cantwell isn’t letting this affront to the First Amendment stand.
As top Democrat on the Senate committee overseeing the FCC, Maria is calling on Sinclair to immediately return Kimmel’s show to local broadcasts and allow the public to freely access programming and news.
Speaking truth to power is what Maria does best, but we know that the far-right and MAGA allies jump at the chance to attack anyone who challenges their agenda. Will you make a donation before our Sept. 30 FEC deadline to show that we have Maria’s back?

“‘The First Amendment ensures the freedom of expression and a free press, and our nation’s media landscape needs to embody those ideals,’ Cantwell wrote. ‘As a trusted voice in the community, local broadcasting is a critical part of that landscape.’”
Maria has never been afraid to go to bat for Washingtonians, especially when our fundamental rights are under threat – and even when it makes her a top target for MAGA mega-donors.
You can bet that they’re going to keep a close eye on the fundraising totals we report after our FEC deadline on Tuesday, ready to pounce at any sign of weakness.
We can’t afford to give them even of inch of ground. Maria needs our help now more than ever. Will you help by making a donation to the campaign today? [[link removed]]If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately.
