Sinclair Broadcast Group - General Discussion

Are there any Sinclair stations actually worth watching/working at? I deleted the weather apps from several stations months ago, but I’m willing to give them another chance.

Can't speak to the quality because I don't watch regularly/don't live there, but KLEW is the only news-producing station in the Moscow/Pullman/Lewiston/Clarkson region of eastern WA and northern ID (a region otherwise in the Spokane market). If you want local TV news about specifically about that region of the country, it's your only choice.

WLUK has pretty much escaped most of the Sinclairization and been able to shove it off to WCWF outside must-runs, which they burn off at the worst times possible. They're switching from their LIN era studio now, but being neck-and-neck with WBAY while WFRV and WGBA crash out towards irrelevancy from their own companies helps keep Hunt Valley from getting their way with 11 fully.

They're one of the very few, if not the only Sinclair station not to use the Sinclair music package.  Been using Aerial since 2012, all the way back to the LIN days.

KLEW newscasts are now produced and anchored from Boise. The quality has always been high school/college/cable access quality. The station veterans were great but everything else was so blah. It’s worse now.
