Broadcast TV Is a'Melting Ice Cube.' Kimmel Just Turned Up the Heat After Sinclair and Nexstar pulled Jimmy Kimmel off air, the old affiliate model looks shakier than ever. Even Disney might do better without broadcast. Jimmy Kimmel returned to ABC this week. About a quarter of ABC's usual audience couldn't see the talk show host this week after two major owners of ABC affiliates, Sinclair and Nexstar, refused to carry the show. Those right-leaning companies apparently felt that Kimmel's joke--which included some disputed facts--was so unpardonable that they couldn't expose their viewers to the comedian.

It's become increasingly important for women to stop worrying about being perfect and find the courage to take action to advance their careers, according to Nell Merlino, creator of Take Our Daughters to Work Day and founder and president of Count Me In for Women's Economic Independence. "None of us can do everything," but "we are all best at something," so we all need to figure out what we're best at and then "lay claim to" that expertise and make sure other people know that also, she said during the keynote "Courage versus Perfection" at the Oct. 4 SoCal Women's Leadership Group annual meeting at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. The event was co-located with the Hollywood Innovation & Technology Summit (HITS) Fall event.
