As we've previously reported, Sinclair is one of several broadcasters that is in the process of acquiring or swapping local TV station licenses, which requires FCC approval.
#BREAKING: Sinclair says it will air a one-hour tribute to Charlie Kirk on its ABC-affiliated stations in the time slot that is usually occupied for "Jimmy Kimmel Live." The special will air on Friday, per a Sinclair spokesperson.
