It seems to me this Kimmel putting his show in the spotlight and giving himself and the Youtube channel ez PR. There are zero words about the law in the article. Instead there's this bullshit...

Kimmel said that “his FCC has threatened me, threatened our show, threatened our network, ABC, our affiliates, our local stations — based on simple, traditional editorial decisions, guest bookings it would seem they don’t like.” He said that “out of consideration for our local stations, especially our ABC affiliates in Texas who would have to deal with this nonsense,” his interview with Talarico will not air on television and instead, will be posted to YouTube.
