The first just confirms that Sinclair stations which were already ABC affiliates renewed those affiliate agreements to stay ABC affiliates thru 2026. Routine stuff.

The second is the same thing I already posted about an agreement to carry the Sinclair CHARGE! network on the 8 ABC owned stations, an agreement that happened just last year.

You said Sinclair bought all the ABC stations which was not remotely close to true. They own about the same percentage of ABC affiliates as they do CBS, NBC and FOX stations.

There is absolutely no special relationship between Sinclair and ABC.
