SBGI - Sinclair-owned Stations

Sinclair-owned Stations

Stations are arranged alphabetically by state and by city of license.

Note: Two boldface asterisks appearing following a station's call letters (**) indicate a station built and signed on by Sinclair.

Notes:

• 1 These stations are nominally owned by Deerfield Media and operated by Sinclair under local marketing agreements.
• 2 These stations are owned by Sinclair, but operated by Nexstar Broadcasting Group under local marketing agreements.
• 3 Via local marketing agreements, Sinclair operates these stations, which are owned by local independent or private companies.
• 4 These stations are nominally owned by Cunningham Broadcasting and operated by Sinclair under local marketing agreements. However, Cunningham Broadcasting's stock is almost completely controlled by trusts in the names of members of Sinclair's founding Smith family.
• 5 WWHO is owned by Manhan Media and managed by Sinclair under a shared services agreement.
• 6 WLYH is owned by Nexstar, but operated by Sinclair under a local marketing agreement.
• 7 WNAB is owned by Tennessee Broadcasting, LP, an affiliate company of Beverly Hills-based Lambert Broadcasting, but its operations are managed by Sinclair under an outsourcing agreement. Sinclair filed an application to acquire the station outright under an FCC "failing station" waiver in July 2005 but the FCC has not acted on the application as of 2013—and will likely either reject the application or continue to not act on it unless Sinclair sells off either WZTV or WUXP due to current rules prohibiting one company from directly owning more than two full-power television stations in the same market.
