Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc.David D. Smith is the CEO of Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc.. Sinclair Broadcast Group (SBG), based in Maryland, is a major operator of local broadcast television stations in the United States, with a total of 61 stations in small and medium-sized markets across the country. Broadcasts by SBG stations can be received by about 24 percent of American households. Most Sinclair television stations are affiliated with either Fox or the WB Network. In October 2002, SBG launched a "local news network" in which many of its local stations receive content originating from a centralized corporate news operation. The company generated controversy in October 2004 when it was reported that Sinclair would preempt prime time programming on all of its stations to air "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," a documentary critical of U.S. presidential candidate John Kerry, two weeks before the November 2 election. As political mudslinging ensued and over 100 advertisers pulled their ads, Sinclair announced that it had never intended to air Stolen Honor in the first place. Sinclair Broadcast Group is 86% owned by the four sons of Julian Sinclair Smith, the founder of the company. SBG was founded in 1986, went public in 1995 and is traded on the Nasdaq Exchange under the ticker symbol SBGI. 2004 total revenue was $708.3 million. Contact Information
