Sinclair just bought the non-licensed assets of WDKA in Paducah, Kentucky (MyTV) and Fox affiliate KBSI in Cape Girardeau, Missouri with an option to acquire all the licensed assets of the stations.

Under the terms of the agreement, Sinclair will provide WDKA and KBSI with programming, technical, and management services.

Our good friend in the google machine said “non-licensed assets typically refer to the tangible and intangible resources that support station operations but are not directly tied to the broadcast license itself. These assets include things like physical equipment (cameras, editing systems, transmission towers), office spaces, contracts with vendors, and programming content.”

Sinclair, Inc. owns, operates and/or provides services to 180 television stations in 82 markets affiliated with all major broadcast networks.
