## Resource

Jimmy Kimmel moved a Democratic Senate candidate’s interview from his TV show to YouTube after FCC pressure, sparking claims that the Trump administration is targeting his network over political bookings. The move follows new FCC rules tightening equal-time regulations for political candidates — even on late-night shows — and comes amid heightened scrutiny of Kimmel’s criticism of Trump, who previously called for ABC to fire him. This isn’t the first time: Talarico’s appearance also got rerouted to YouTube last February when he was booked on Stephen Colbert’s show. It’s a stark reminder of how political pressure can force media content off traditional airwaves and onto digital platforms.
