Sixty-six local stations owned by the ABC affiliates did not broadcast <em>Jimmy Kimmel Live!,<\/em> but this cost them a natural influx of viewership, and possibly some of their market, according to media experts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlackouts like this often highlight the strength of digital platforms,\u201d Natalie Andreas, a communications professor at the University of Texas, told <em>Fortune<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Instead of limiting reach, blackouts push viewers toward spaces like YouTube where content spreads faster, lingers longer, and attracts new audiences who may not have tuned in live, she said.<\/p>\n<p>Susan Keith, a professor in the Rutgers School of Communication and Information, told <em>Fortune<\/em> the blackouts can push viewers to seek\u2014and easily find\u2014Kimmel on their digital cable packages or YouTube if local stations didn\u2019t air the show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s this idea of public interest, necessity and convenience that over-the-air broadcast media were supposed to fulfill,\u201d she said. \u201cSo if we all move to streaming services for content because (of) incidents like this one,\u201d it trains viewers to seek media this way.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, streaming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/business\/business-news\/streaming-overtakes-cable-broadcast-cable-tv-first-time-rcna213451\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/business\/business-news\/streaming-overtakes-cable-broadcast-cable-tv-first-time-rcna213451\" class=\"sc-4f49155c-0 hLtviE\">overtook<\/a> cable and broadcast as America\u2019s most-watched form of TV, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nielsen.com\/news-center\/2025\/streaming-reaches-historic-tv-milestone-eclipses-combined-broadcast-and-cable-viewing-for-first-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/www.nielsen.com\/news-center\/2025\/streaming-reaches-historic-tv-milestone-eclipses-combined-broadcast-and-cable-viewing-for-first-time\/\" class=\"sc-4f49155c-0 hLtviE\">Nielsen data<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The FCC does not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fcc.gov\/media\/radio\/public-and-broadcasting#REGULATION\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/www.fcc.gov\/media\/radio\/public-and-broadcasting#REGULATION\" class=\"sc-4f49155c-0 hLtviE\">license<\/a> TV or radio networks such as CBS, NBC, ABC or <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/company\/fox\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/fortune.com\/company\/fox\/\" class=\"sc-4f49155c-0 hLtviE\">Fox<\/a>, but rather individual stations that may air programming from these networks.
