History

In March 2025, Sinclair Broadcast Group announced it would sell five of its stations across the Midwest to Rincon for $29.4 million. [2] However, on April 14, a petition to deny was filed to the FCC by Frequency Forward, a public-interest organization arguing that the sale perpetuated Sinclair’s use of side‑car ownership structures; this petition did not challenge Rincon’s qualifications. [3] This petition was dismissed by the FCC on July 1, approving of the sale. [1] The purchase was consummated by Rincon on July 9, with Rincon stating it would invest in ATSC 3.0 upgrades and an expansion in local news. [4]

On April 3, 2025, Imagicomm Communications, a shell company affiliated with INSP, announced it would sell seven of its stations across the Western and Southern U.S. to Rincon for an undisclosed amount. [5] The purchase was completed and consummated by Rincon on July 18. [6]
