That's not news. Its history. It happened before you read about it.

Wow, really?

So no local broadcasts where you are?

No weather, sports, traffic...?

I saw a fascinating report the other day about three mountain lions hanging out in someone's driveway.

Today, it was bears getting too comfortable around people.

Temps are going to be in the 50s all week.

And traffic is improving around an ongoing construction project.

Let me guess - you're a Sinclair supporter.

"One company. One script. Many, many voices.

A video published by sports news site Deadspin over the weekend revealed dozens of TV anchors from Sinclair Broadcast Group reciting the same speech warning against "biased and false news."

It was the latest show of the vast reach of a company that owns local TV stations across the country and has long been criticized for pushing conservative coverage and commentary onto local airwaves."
