Jimmy Kimmel’s show used the presidential tone without permission (Picture: ABC/Getty) Jimmy Kimmel Live! has been slapped with a $395,000 (£326,000) fine for illegally using the presidential warning tone in the sketch. The sketch, which aired in October 2018, aired the alert sound, which is only meant to be activated by President Donald Trump in case of an emergency, on the same day it was tested around the US. President Trump launched the new notification service in case of a national emergency, such as impending missile attacks, terrorism acts and natural disasters that could affect citizens of the United States. 200million phones within the States were sent the alert on 3 October as a test run. By using the tone in the sketch to mock the system, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) stated that the show had been in breach of broadcasting rules which banned its use to ‘avoid confusion’ should people hear it. ABC Network, who air Jimmy Kimmel Live, defended the use of the tone and said that they weren’t aware there were rules in place not allowing it.

They added in a statement they ‘take regulatory compliance seriously, and we are pleased to have resolved this issue’. AMC, who own the Walking Dead, Discovery and Meruelo have also been fined for using the tone as well. Got a showbiz story?
