2. Sinclair owns a number of stations around the country
and operates others on a contract basis for their owners. The stations are affiliates of all the various networks: ABC, CBS, and NBC, but a greater number of them seem to be Fox, WB, and UPN.

3. No they're the largest owner of individual affiliates in the country
they own affiliates from all the broadcast networks other than I think PBS.

ABC, NBC, CBS, UPN, the WB. Although as far as I know not more than one affiliate per market they're in total.

4. Thanks.
With all the info that flies at me on DU, some of it gets jumbled. And after visiting their website, I found out they own both my local WB affiliate and my Fox Affiliate. Dammit

5. In Baltimore, they're the WB and FOX.
BTW, their corp. HQ is here. Sleazy Smith family values.
