- Sinclair Broadcast Group came under scrutiny after a clip of news anchors reading a required script about "fake news" went viral.
- Some worried the mandated segment undermined the news organizations, while others - including President Donald Trump - defended Sinclair.
- Here is a list of Sinclair Broadcast Group stations in every state and major city or media market.
Since the release of a viral clip showing broadcasters reading a required segment on journalistic integrity, local-TV giant Sinclair Broadcast Group has been under the microscope.
The company, which owns 193 local stations across the US, drew criticism for what some saw as a forced message that undermined the independence of the news organizations. Others, including President Donald Trump, have defended Sinclair and the monologue.
One of the biggest reasons for the intensity of the scrutiny is just how wide Sinclair's reach has become. Based on Sinclair's website, the company maintains stations in 34 states and Washington DC.
We went through Sinclair's list of stations and found all of those affiliated with a major network or designated under its own call letters.
