Who Took Jimmy Kimmel Off the Air in Nashville? - City Cast Nashville Last month, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” disappeared from our Nashville airwaves. Now he’s back. So, who really controls our local TV stations, and what do...

Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension got us wondering — who controls our local TV stations? Big thanks to @mattgertz.bsky.social from @mmfa.bsky.social for joining us to explain the ecosystem of massive media conglomerates, the FCC’s influence, and what the First Amendment has to say about all of it:

🎶You don't win friends with salad.🎶

Clockwork, Wonka, Fiddler, Harold & Maude, Shaft, Billy Jack and ... of course because Las Vegas (and Bruce Glover)...Diamonds Are Forever!

Second Coming No. 249 — September 25, 2025 A poem-a-day protest against the threat posed to our democracy by Donald Trump and his fascist regime — Autumn Equinox Edition

My recent poem “Spectacle” appears in today’s issue of Second Coming.

The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball.

This field, this game, these gambling ads, these ticking timers, these corporate logos on the uniforms, these robots - it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good, and it could be again.

30 Years of 'Showgirls': Hot Mess or High Art? by City Cast Las Vegas

I can't count myself among the 'Showgirls' defenders, but I was still happy to revisit the iconic Vegas movie on its 30th anniversary for a discussion with @oyvegas.bsky.social on today's CityCast.

Nexstar And Sinclair, Two Largest Station Groups, Wield Influence In ABC Decision To Pull Jimmy Kimmel In Light Of His Charlie Kirk Comments — Update The station group is seeking FCC approval of a major merger.

How does a citizen, concerned that the acquisition of too much of a media market violates antitrust laws, petition for relief? Especially when consolidation of media stifles diversity of thoughts and opinions to the detriment of the common good?

Asking for a nation.

Carlson Fucker Tucker, too. WTAF is happening and happening so fast!?!?

Whats the CTA here!?!?!

But what about the "regular" left...can we still offer critique?

Jimmy has a hell of a lawsuit and his lawyers are ginna get rich.

If Kimmel's observation (which legally parsed contains no defamatory, provably false or frankly offensive-to-anyone-other-than-bad-actors statements) is now redline for commentary causing the FCC to call for, and broadcasting entities to acquiesce, based on "insensitive" comments...we're ALL cooked.

So is the narrative that if you made it through English 101 at any college AND caught even a glimpse of Ru Paul's drag race at a Best Buy while shopping for a Twitch...youre instantly converted from generational MAGA to leftist, Marxist assassin. Totally checks out.

Im a Lazy Luddite and Im ok. I sleep all night and I create personal content with meaning and vulnerability all day....

Montage of out of context surrealism to market Vegas to...piano playing office workers/singers is a funky twist on the war for visitors. Do I like it - for all the reasons they probably don't want!?!?

Tl;dr...tariffs aren't impacting anything, job numbers are probably more robust than the stats show, Vegas exceptionalism, driven by the resorts naturally, will adapt and prevail. All's good man!
