History

On October 10, 2023, Sinclair announced that they had plans to launch a new over-the-air television network called The Nest on October 30. [3] Sinclair's distribution of The Nest would replace that of Stadium on TV stations across the U.S. after they sold control of the network to Jerry Reinsdorf's Silver Chalice in May of the same year. [4] At launch, the network was available in more than 50% of U.S. over-the-air television households, including the major markets. [5]

On February 20, 2024, Sinclair announced that Tegna agreed to carry the network to 35 stations across the country. [6]

Programming

The Nest's schedule is made up of reality and true crime content from the libraries of A&E Networks (mostly from the networks A&E and History). [7]
