Sinclair Broadcast Group owns, operates, or provides services to a very large number of local TV stations across the United States, spanning most major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CW, MyNetworkTV, and various independents). Rather than a single short list, it is best understood as a nationwide portfolio organized by state and market.

Key points at a glance

  • Sinclair has stations (owned or operated) in dozens of U.S. states , covering many mid‑size and large media markets.
  • Its properties include major‑network affiliates (like ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox) as well as CW and MyNetworkTV affiliates and some independent stations.
  • In some markets, Sinclair directly owns the station; in others, it operates it via side companies or shared‑services agreements.

How many and what kinds of stations?

Sinclair’s portfolio includes television stations in 30+ states , with many markets having more than one outlet under Sinclair control. These stations often carry a mix of local news, network programming, syndicated shows, and digital subchannels with specialty networks.

Common types of Sinclair‑associated stations include:

  • ABC affiliates
  • CBS affiliates
  • NBC affiliates
  • Fox affiliates
  • CW and CW+ affiliates
  • MyNetworkTV affiliates
  • Independent and specialty‑network stations (e.g., MeTV, Comet, Stadium, and others via subchannels)

Where to see the full, up‑to‑date list

Because Sinclair’s station lineup can change (sales, trades, new agreements), a fully complete list is best checked at sources that track ownership station‑by‑station:

  1. A detailed station‑by‑station list of outlets owned or operated by Sinclair, broken down by state and market, is maintained on major reference sites.
  1. Business and media‑industry writeups provide state‑by‑state rundowns of Sinclair’s key stations (e.g., which ABC or Fox affiliates are under its umbrella).
  1. Sinclair’s own corporate materials and FCC filings list its current licensees and operating agreements.
