0

A new broadcast affiliate distribution agreement has been signed that will bring a Sinclair Broadcast Group digital multicast network known for its lineup of police procedural series to ABC Owned Television Stations across the U.S.



The deal will put CHARGE! on the DT-3 signals of WABC-7 in New York, WLS-7 in Chicago, KABC-7 in Los Angeles, WPVI-6 in Philadelphia; KTRK-13 in Houston; KGO-7 in San Francisco; WTVD-11 in Raleigh-Durham; and KFSN-30 in Fresno-Merced.

This, says Sinclair, adds over 4 million new, over-the-air TV households as well as 3.73 million new pay TV/cable households.

With the addition of this distribution agreement, CHARGE! can now be seen over-the-air in 109 U.S. markets, including nine of the Top-10 markets.

“This agreement continues Sinclair’s investment and expansion of its multicast networks through the addition of distribution partners and successful programming with iconic
franchises throughout the networks’ lineups which continues to drive double-digit annual audience growth,” Sinclair said.
