Author (when available): Jon Ellis
Sinclair Broadcast Group is reportedly selling TV stations in four Midwestern markets, including Milwaukee.
According to The Desk and the Springfield State Journal-Register, Sinclair is selling the stations to Rincon Broadcasting Group, headed by Todd Parkin. The stations reportedly include:
- Milwaukee: WVTV (CW 18.1)
- Kirksville-Ottumwa: KTVO (ABC 3.1, CBS 3.2)
- Hannibal-Quincy: KHQA (CBS 7.1, ABC 7.2)
- Springfield, IL: WICS (ABC 20.1) and satellite WICD/15.1 (Danville)
Your reporter has been unable to check for an FCC filing as public access to the FCC database appears to be down.
Sinclair has not issued a news release about the sale as of March 12.
