Sept 26 (Reuters) - Sinclair Broadcasting SBGI.O said on Friday it will end its preemption of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and the show will return in the evening on Sinclair’s nearly 40 ABC-affiliated stations.

Sinclair is one of two major broadcast owners that had not agreed to resume airing the show this week after Disney DIS.N lifted a nearly week-long suspension of the show.

It had faced pressure from some lawmakers over the decision to not air the program.
