where are sinclair abc stations

Sinclair’s ABC-affiliated stations are spread across many mid-size and large TV markets in the United States, including cities in the South, Midwest, West Coast, and Mountain West.

Big picture

Sinclair Broadcast Group owns or operates ABC affiliates in multiple states rather than one national “Sinclair ABC channel.” Each local station carries ABC network programming plus its own local news and syndicated shows. Viewers see these as their local ABC station, but on the business side they’re part of Sinclair’s portfolio.

Examples by state and market

Below are some illustrative examples of where Sinclair-linked ABC stations are located (not a complete list but enough to see the pattern).

Sample Sinclair ABC markets

[1] [1] [3][1] [1] [3][1] [3] [3] [3] [3] [3]

State	City/Market	ABC station (call sign)
Alabama	Birmingham / Tuscaloosa	WBMA-LD (with WCFT-TV as a satellite), plus related repeaters serving the metro area.
Alabama	Dothan	WDHN (ABC affiliate serving southeast Alabama).
Arkansas	Little Rock–Pine Bluff	KATV (ABC affiliate for central Arkansas).
California	Bakersfield	KERO-TV (ABC station for the Bakersfield area).
California	Eureka	KAEF (ABC affiliate; Sinclair also controls sister stations there).
California	Chico–Redding	KRCR (listed as an ABC station in this market).
North Carolina	Greensboro–High Point–Winston-Salem	WXLV (ABC affiliate in the Triad region).
North Carolina	Greenville–New Bern–Washington	WCTI (ABC affiliate for the coastal/Down East area).
South Carolina	Florence–Myrtle Beach	WPDE (ABC affiliate along the Grand Strand/Pee Dee).
South Carolina / W. North Carolina	Greenville–Spartanburg–Asheville	WLOS (ABC affiliate for the western Carolinas market).

These examples show how Sinclair’s ABC presence is scattered: some stations are in state capitals or large metros, others serve smaller or regional markets.

How to find “your” Sinclair ABC station

If you want to know whether your local ABC is a Sinclair station and where it’s based:

1. Look up your local ABC channel’s call sign (for example by searching “ABC station [your city] call letters”).
2. Check the station’s ownership info on its “About” or corporate page; it will say if Sinclair Broadcast Group owns or operates it.
3. Note that some stations are satellites or subchannels (for instance, a smaller city may receive ABC via a relay of a larger Sinclair-owned station nearby).

Current discussion and “latest news” angle

Sinclair’s ABC stations draw attention in political and media discussions because of corporate “must-run” segments and perceived editorial slant in some news content. Online, you’ll see active forum and Reddit threads listing “Sinclair ABC markets,” advertisers, and debates over whether these local stations should be treated differently from independently owned ABC affiliates.

On forums, people often say things like: local anchors and familiar ABC branding make the stations feel independent, but centralized corporate content and promos remind viewers they’re part of a larger Sinclair machine.

TL;DR

Sinclair ABC stations are not in one place—they’re a network of local ABC affiliates that Sinclair owns or runs in markets such as Birmingham, Little Rock, Bakersfield, Eureka, Triad NC, coastal NC, and parts of South and North Carolina, plus other regions across the U.S.
