CircleSeven 1955 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I saw this earlier this week. It appears that Sinclair has replaced its longtime "SBG" logo and placed its "SINCLAIR" in big letters on the header of its website. How uninspiring. But the big shocker is that its shell Cunningham Broadcasting now has its own website, and it looks like Deerfield Media might be getting one too. But I'm thinking what's the point in making these website now?

Anyone can make a logo like that these days. I wouldn't even call "that" a logo. But as always, it's Sinclair we're talking about.

Not exactly the best impressions you would want to make to make it appear that they are seperate companies. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13758-sinclair-broadcast-group-general-discussion/page/26/#findComment-167361 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3933 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I'll be curious to see what becomes of the Spectrum auction. There are lots of opportunities for frequency consolidation and for a shell to step up and "take over" a station or two. That's probably why Cunningham has a website and Deerfield looks to have one in the works.... 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13758-sinclair-broadcast-group-general-discussion/page/26/#findComment-167390 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven 1955 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 They tried to, but I thought that sale fell through. Th sale fell through after Wheeler issued that "JSA Guidance" srutinizing deals with sharing arrangements. And this was before the JSA attribution rule came about. Because of the "Guidance", they figured that the deal wouldn't get the greenlight, so they backed out.

The Frog 429 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Of Sinclair's 173 stations, 93 will be repacked and 3 of them have been sold in the spectrum auction. Other tidbits from their earnings call: The Comet diginet has been profitable for them since launch, and they expect to roll out ATSC 3.0 in 2018. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/edited-transcript-sbgi-earnings-conference-015439583.html 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13758-sinclair-broadcast-group-general-discussion/page/26/#findComment-168017 Share on other sites More sharing options...
