Why is this happening? I’ll explain.
If the FCC approves Nexstar’s merger deal, the company’s reach would increase from 39% to more than 80% of US households.
But the deal ALSO depends on the FCC eliminating the current 39% cap on reach. Sinclair has been lobbying for this change as well.

“Nexstar, a major owner of local ABC stations, said on Tuesday morning that it would pre-empt Mr. Kimmel’s show indefinitely. Sinclair, another owner of local affiliates, said the same on Monday evening.”
