Terry Meiners

Indiana Governor Mike Braun popped on WHAS Radio with Terry Meiners to discuss his administration's reshaping of state government, crime abatement, gerrymandering, tariffs, negotiating for businesses against Kentucky, and the Jimmy Kimmel suspension.

A thousand people have asked me about the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel on ABC-TV. I don't like it but I understand the business of media. ABC/Disney weighs countless moneymaking opportunities and sheds content that does not produce profits.

Once Nexstar and Sinclair pulled Kimmel's show after he made caustic comments after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, ABC/Disney had a business decision to make.

Nexstar, Sinclair, Gray, and other television operators have to seek approval from the Federal Communications Commission on license renewals, station ownership clustering, and duopoly opportunities.

The public owns the airwaves. The government has control.

Streamers, cable, and a plethora of alternate messaging companies have much less scrutiny than do over-the-air broadcasters. 

Jimmy Kimmel's voice isn't silenced from the public, only from ABC broadcast television. He can say whatever he wants on podcasts, social media, or start his own digital platform.

Stephen Colbert's CBS contract is not being renewed but he's on the air every night punching Donald Trump and all other conservatives in the face. Trump didn't get Colbert "removed" from TV, he's still on the air on CBS until the completion of his contract term. 

ABC has the ultimate decision of whether to bring Kimmel back and/or renew his contract next year. It's all about business. Either he's worth the risk to earn profits or he's not.

The Louisville Cardinals volleyball squad is 7-1 and ranked #3 with #6 Kentucky coming to the Yum Center this THursday night for the rivalry matchup. Louisville's Dan Meske is in his first year as head coach after 8 prior seasons as associate head coach.

Dan's love of all things Louisville runs deep for his entire family.

The Beasman swore that he'd never call Terry's WHAS Radio show ever again after Kenny Payne was fired. But Louisville's successful basketball coach Pat Kelsey just referred to UofL as POINT GUARD U in an interview and Joe was triggered into reaching for the phone.
