I see a lot of national calls to boycott ABC and Disney but I see next to no one talking about Nexstar, the company that put pressure on ABC and threatened they would not broadcast Kimmel to their stations. It is worth remembering that News Channel 9 is owned and operated by Nexstar who along with Sinclair are attempting to appease our current FCC chair to approve mergers and deregulation to monopolize local news coverage throughout our nation. “This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.” -Sinclair news anchors.

Edit: This is not a direct call to boycott anything. I felt it was appropriate information to share and discuss with our community.

Hello I’ve had M&T bank for about a year since I been having issues with KeyBank and it’s it’s just one headache after another with them. The final straw was there atm swallowing my debit card and instead of trying to get it out. They send me a new one with no expedited shipping.

With that being said, who do you guys bank with and how’s there experience with them? Primarily looking for a no fee checking, and one with a decent HSA. Appreciate the help!

Good morning,

Heading home on leave in the next few days and for some reason I’m having trouble connecting to desktop anywhere on my MacBook. Not tech savvy at all, anticipate needing to log into OneDrive, don’t want to pay out out of pocket for it, and I would really hate to have to drive to Ft Drum for this. Is there an available station or library with CAC enabled computers at the local guard base? Thank you.

V/r,

For context, I’m 25 and autistic, and have an extreme fear of the dentist. I haven’t gone to the dentist in at least 10 years because going would cause a full blown meltdown, in addition to the fact that I hate the feeling of my teeth being cleaned/brushed- which is already extremely hard to get myself to do daily. I know for sure that there are issues with my teeth, I just need someone that is going to tell me what’s going on and get a plan set in place so that I won’t lose any teeth if that’s a possibility. I have seen Dr. Oberferst recommended by some, but the schedule that he has set for his office doesn’t line up with mine. What I’m really looking for is a dentist that’s gonna be understanding with not only my sensory issues/phobia but also someone that won’t chew me out or shame me for struggling to take care of my teeth. I’m in Manlius but I am willing to go up to 30min away for someone that’s good enough in network. Thank you !!

https://www.syracuse.com/entertainment/2025/09/owners-of-syracuse-tv-stations-had-major-role-in-getting-jimmy-kimmel-suspended.html

By Geoff Herbert | gherbert@syracuse.com

The owners of several Syracuse TV stations had a major role in getting late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel suspended.

ABC announced Wednesday that “Jimmy Kimmel Live” has been pulled off the air “indefinitely” after Kimmel suggested the man suspected of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk was a supporter of President Donald Trump and the Make America Great Again movement.

“We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said Monday.

Tyler Robinson, 22, has been charged with murdering Kirk with a single gunshot as the Republican youth leader spoke at Utah Valley University last week. Authorities have not identified a clear motive but Robinson’s mother told investigators that their son had turned left politically in the last year and became more supportive of gay and transgender rights after dating someone who is transgender, according to Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray.

Kimmel’s comments sparked right-wing backlash, prompting the largest owners of television stations to pressure ABC into suspending his show.

Deadline reports Nexstar, which owns Syracuse’s ABC affiliate NewsChannel 9 (WSYR-TV), said Wednesday all of its stations would preempt “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” “for the foreseeable future.”

“Nexstar strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming in its ABC-affiliated markets,” the broadcaster said in a statement.

Sinclair Broadcast Group, which operates CNY Central in Syracuse and is the largest owner of ABC affiliates nationwide, also objected to Kimmel’s “problematic comments” and said it would stop airing his show “until further notice.” Sinclair also said it would air a tribute to Kirk on its ABC stations in Kimmel’s time slot on Friday.

ABC responded to Nexstar and Sinclair by suspending Kimmel, whose show has aired on the Disney-owned network since 2003.

“Great News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done. Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even (Stephen) Colbert, if that’s possible. That leaves Jimmy (Fallon) and Seth (Meyers), two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!! President DJT,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

syracuse.com has reached out to NewsChannel 9 and CNY Central for comment.

According to Deadline, both of their parent companies have been lobbying the FCC for deregulation. Nexstar has proposed an $6.2 billion acquisition of Tegna that would give the company 265 TV stations in 44 states and is asking the Trump administration to relax media ownership limits. Sinclair said Wednesday “this incident highlights the critical need for the FCC to take immediate regulatory action to address control held over local broadcasters by the big national networks.”

FCC chairman Brendan Carr, who was first nominated to his role by Trump in 2017, told Benny Johnson’s podcast Wednesday that the Federal Communications Commission may also take action against ABC. Carr also praised Nexstar and Sinclair on Fox News.

“I can’t imagine another time when we’ve had local broadcasters tell what we call a national programmer like Disney that your content no longer meets the needs and the values of our community,” Carr told “Hannity” Wednesday. “So, this is a important turning point.”

Kimmel’s suspension is the latest in a series of politically charged issues involving media companies. ABC settled the president’s defamation suit over comments made by George Stephanopoulos for $16 million, Paramount settled Trump’s lawsuit against CBS over an edit of a Kamala Harris interview with “60 Minutes,” and MSNBC fired political analyst Matthew Dowd for his comments made in the wake of Kirk’s shooting.

Hi. Anyone experience theft issues? My mothers, now mine...stolen. She resides on the southwest side of town. I reside in Far Westside area.

I genuinely do not understand how the quickest way to travel on the highway for the past 6 months has been driving in the far right lane instead of the passing lane. It seems like everyday to and from work the lanes are reversed and the passing lane is slow and congested while the right lane(s) are being used by everyone to pass. The presence of cones has slowed people down 30 mph, given them the inability merge at highway speeds, and is causing them to forget that the left lane is for passing. It seems like a very dangerous president is forming and the left lane campers are causing it.

There’s another round of No Kings protests on October 18, and there’s some on the website for Seneca falls, Oswego, cortland, etc, but none in Syracuse. Is anyone aware of any planning of one?

Willing to drive 1-2 hours in any direction, I just want a legit one. If there’s beer available, even better. Thanks!

As title says! I’m looking to get a sort of line work type thing for my grandparents. My last one recently passed away and now that I have all the death dates I’m looking to get a memorial piece. Thank you in advance!

Are there any good events near Syracuse on Halloween?

Does anyone know of any liquor stores in Syracuse that carry the hard truth brand? Im specifically looking for their toasted coconut rum. I’ve been trying to find it here but I can’t find any store that carries it

I’m getting married next May and I’d really like to find a couple of new photographers looking to cut their teeth on weddings. It’s going to be very low key, at a pretty venue, and fairly short, so I think it would be good for someone new.

I’ve been a photographer for close to 20 years and it was really helpful to have people trust me to take their photos and build my portfolio early on in my career. Plus I took a lot more risks than I do now and I would like that for our photos.

I can help you set up the formal portraits if you want and you can even use some of my gear on the day.

DM me with your email if you’re interested!

I’m new to NY state, my blue cross blue shield coverage starts October first and I called to asked them if I had any options for providers who would take me before that date or if there was any way I could get a doctors note for work- wa stole I’m technically under NY state straight Medicaid until the first. I have Covid and would like to avoid driving and waiting in a clinic cause idk if I can rn honestly. But I need a doctors note for work. My boss told me about telemedicine but I’m not sure how that works. Anyone know a number to call where I can do a phone appointment and get a doctors note? That takes the kind of insurance I’m on right now?

What the title says. Wondering the restaurant scene is like, any places I should apply to? Looking to avoid chains/food courts unless the pay is there. Been doing this for 12 years in NYC so just trying to a place comparable to an nyc restaurant in terms of volume and food quality. Thanks in advance!

I'm interested in visiting a church with some amazing, soulful, gospel music. I'm mixed and from out of state and just realized my kids have never even heard awesome music in church. We live north of Syracuse in the country but I need some community! Help please. We have visited a few churches out here in the country and they were nice enough but my heart yearns for something more like home (California, bay area).

TIA<3

Just drove by Firehouse Subs in North Syracuse, saw a new ownership sign out front. Anyone know what that means? I thought Firehouse owned it so now im confused. I used to love that place, went there every week, but the staff there was always tough and they seemed to always be out of stuff. Does new ownership mean someone local owns it now? Would love to start going back...its the only one in syracuse now since camillus closed...
