Sinclair, Inc. is advancing its effort to bring its over-the-air multicast networks to better channel positions in more markets across the United States by inking new affiliation agreements with broadcasters in several markets over the coming weeks, the company announced on Wednesday.
The effort involves Sinclair’s four multicast networks — Comet, Charge, Roar (formerly TBD) and the Nest — which are moving to new homes in some parts of the country between the beginning of this month and October 1.
As part of the effort, Sinclair has inked a national distribution agreement with Mediacom, the fifth-largest cable television operator in the country, to bring national feeds of all four multicast networks to their pay TV systems in the Midwest and Southeast, Sinclair said.
In other markets, Sinclair’s multicast networks will be gaining distribution through over-the-air broadcast affiliates or switching stations.
