[edit] Owner?

For purposes of determining media bias, is Sinclair publically held or is it a subsidiary of some other corporation? Given its behavior, I would assume its controller to be a conservative/Republican dominated organization or corporation. Isn't the point of a resource like wikipedia to bring out the facts that are being hidden? If someone knows who owns Sinclair, please add it to the article. -Kasreyn

Sinclair is publicly trade under SBGI on Nasdaq.

Though Sinclair became a public company in 1995 and is currently traded on NASDAQ under the symbol SBGI, the Smith family still retains a majority financial interest, and all four Smith brothers serve as executives or directors. - Nick Davis

[edit] delisting? no

i deleted the statement they were close to the delsiting price, they were no where near delisting. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=SBGI&a=5&b=7&c=1995&d=3&e=7&f=2006&g=d&z=66&y=330 I was heavily watching and investigating the sinclair events closely as events transpired, and added in some background on why the stock fell. much more than I am said.

[edit] Clear Channel's comparison to Sinclair

What's the point of this statement? "SBG has been compared to the radio conglomerate Clear Channel Communications (although it owns TV stations as well as radio stations)." Unless there is a reason offered, then it's a pointless comparison. One does TV and the other does TV and radio. In other words, that is about as comparable as any two media companies. Big deal.

[edit] TVX?

Does it seem like Sinclar owns most of the old TVX stations (such as WTVZ)? WAVY 10 16:14, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
