Owner?

For purposes of determining media bias, is Sinclair publically held or is it a subsidiary of some other corporation? Given its behavior, I would assume its controller to be a conservative/Republican dominated organization or corporation. Isn't the point of a resource like wikipedia to bring out the facts that are being hidden? If someone knows who owns Sinclair, please add it to the article. -Kasreyn

Sinclair is publicly trade under SBGI on Nasdaq.

Though Sinclair became a public company in 1995 and is currently traded on NASDAQ under the symbol SBGI, the Smith family still retains a majority financial interest, and all four Smith brothers serve as executives or directors. - Nick Davis

delisting? no

i deleted the statement they were close to the delsiting price, they were no where near delisting. http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=SBGI&a=5&b=7&c=1995&d=3&e=7&f=2006&g=d&z=66&y=330 I was heavily watching and investigating the sinclair events closely as events transpired, and added in some background on why the stock fell. much more than I am said.
