Sinclair Swaps Signals, Buys CBS6; Who Is Carma??




And the winner of the CBS6 Ownership Sweepstakes is Sinclair Broadcasting!

Today they announced the purchase of the "Wagon Train" station for $85 million, while selling off WRLH/Fox Richmond to the broadcast powerhouse, Carma Broadcasting, LLC.

What? Who? Didn't find a corporate site on Google. Maybe I'm missing something.

Oh, well-----those who feel Sinclair has politically "meddled" in its station broadcasting will, I'm sure, be watching the CBS6 News Department like a hawk. In the meantime, Sinclair says it will continue to provide "sales and non-programming services" for Fox Richmond.

So will they still utilize NBC12 talent for their News at Ten? Wouldn't seem to make sense.

Don't be surprised if the gang at CW News at Ten becomes Fox News at Ten at some point in the future, and vice versa.

I can hear the new slogan for Curt and Diane if they're on CW:

"We've got all this news, but only half the time!"

Gee, was going to leave a message correcting your spelling of Karma but I guess I don't know what it is either.... Never mind.
