Anyone know if ABC is a sinclair station? Tonight there is a listing for 1969-Ted Kennedy

[demtenjeep]

and the death of Mary Jo


why now? It has been long over and Kennedy is gone.

What is the purpose?

[hlthe2b]

1. ABC has affiliates in cities throughout the country. What station are you asking about?

[spanone]

2. Just another chance to smear the Kennedy name.

[GemDigger]

3. They don't own ABC but they may own local stations that are ABC.

It's on ABC here as well.

4. Sinclair owns local stations from all the networks. Check yours. They don't own ABC.

6. ABC is owned by Disney.

As to why they are doing the documentary, see:

7. ABC is Disney. Sinclair owns lots of local stations and maybe some cable channels...

But it is a major holder of individual ABC and Fox stations, which may influence the network.

8. Some Sinclair station are some are not

Their strategy is buy into markets, then saturate them with their editorial spin.

ABC 33

CBS 27

Fox 44

NBC 22

9. I Saw The Ad

and the point is?

[demtenjeep]

10. if it is all ABC and they are playing this, they are smearing

and it will affect the elections if they continue


is my point



we have to be aware of EVERY little thing

[Hekate]

11. It is probably the Sinclair local station(s) running RW stuff on an ABC affiliate. Don't know how...

...that sorts out. All I know for sure is our local news packages changed after the station was purchased by Sinclair.

[bdjhawk]

12. And remember the movie In theaters last year

On the same subject. I agree the timing is odd. And tonight it was broadcast on ABC nationally.

[SoCalDem]

13. KOMO (SEA) has Boris Alexandrovich Epshteyn's commentaries

I woke up this morning to his droning...something I had recorded ran out, and apparently, I had had that channel on..so there he was,, UGH!!!


from wikipedia...KOMO-TV, virtual channel 4 (UHF digital channel 38), is an ABC-affiliated television station licensed to Seattle, Washington, United States, and also serving Tacoma. The station is owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group,

[Raine]

14. They've been covering the year 1969 for a couple weeks now

I think last week it was the Manson murders, another week the moon landing, this time Teddy was featured. 1969 was a big year for things happening, it's the 50th anniversary of some events, not everything is a plot.

[Liberal In Texas]

15. ABC is a network of individual stations.

Separately owned (except a few are owned outright by ABC, they're called O&Os)

[Tipperary]

16. And CNN's been playing a series on Tricky Dick.

So what?

Are you worried about a particular Kennedy, or just worried in general?

[brooklynite]

17. ABC is a television network. Sinclair owns individual TV stations.

[Codeine]

18. Fifty year anniversary

of the important events of 1969. It would be silly to pretend one of the bigger stories of that year never happened.

[Mendocino]

19. Sinclair Stations
