List of stations owned or operated by Sinclair Broadcast Group
Sinclair Broadcast Group, a media company, owns or operates 294 television stations across the United States in 89 markets ranging in size from as large as Washington, D.C. to as small as Ottumwa, Iowa–Kirksville, Missouri.[1]
The stations are affiliates of various television networks, including ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and The CW as well as numerous specialty channels.
Many stations are owned outright by the company, while others are owned by legally distinct companies but operated by Sinclair through a local marketing agreement, a concept Sinclair pioneered in Pittsburgh in 1991 when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) forbade duopolies. (The stations involved in the initial deal, WPGH-TV and WPTT — now WPNT — are now both owned by Sinclair outright.) Sinclair has established local marketing agreements with various companies, most notably Cunningham Broadcasting and Deerfield Media.[2]

- The station is owned by Horseshoe Curve Communications or Palm Television and operated by Sinclair under a master service agreement with Cunningham Broadcasting or Horseshoe Curve Communications.
- Sinclair owned WPNT from its 1978 launch (as WPTT-TV) until selling it to its operations manager, Eddie Edwards, in 1991 after acquiring WPGH-TV; Edwards would sell the station back to Sinclair in 2000.
- Station is owned by Tennessee Broadcasting, LP, an affiliate company of Beverly Hills-based Lambert Broadcasting, and 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 2014—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.
- Sinclair owned WEMT from 1998 until it was sold to Aurora Broadcasting in 2006; Sinclair reassumed control of the station in 2017 when then-owners Esteem Broadcasting sold the station to Cunningham Broadcasting.
- The station was formerly a separate full-power station as WCGV-TV until January 2018, when its license was turned in to the FCC after the selling of its spectrum in the 2016 auction. In its failed attempt to acquire Tribune's WITI in the same market, Sinclair chose to turn in WCGV's channel 25 digital license and merge its subchannels onto WVTV's, but was able to retain the former channel number, thus it continues to virtually operate as its own station despite being a subchannel of WVTV. WITI would then have been able to be acquired, as the new WCGV intellectual unit is a subchannel in technicality.
