Description: SBGI Sinclair Broadcast November 18, 2025
Sinclair Broadcast Group (NASDAQ:SBGI) is a U.S.-based media company that operates two primary segments: Local Media and Tennis. The Local Media segment runs a portfolio of over-the-air broadcast stations and owned-and-operated networks-including The Nest, Comet, CHARGE!, TBD, The National News Desk, and Full Measure-while also producing local news, sports, and original programming for syndication and multi-channel video distributors. The Tennis segment centers on the Tennis Channel and its extensions (Tennis Channel International, streaming services, T2 FAST, Tennis.com, and PickleballTV), delivering live tournament coverage, lifestyle shows, and ad-supported streaming content.
Key operational metrics that shape Sinclair’s outlook include roughly 190 owned or operated stations reaching about 40 % of U.S. TV households, FY 2023 total revenue of approximately $5.6 billion with an EBITDA margin near 15 %, and a growing contribution from FAST (Free-Ad-Supported Television) channels that now generate roughly 8 % of total ad revenue-a figure that is expected to rise as advertisers shift spend toward addressable, digital-first inventory. Sector-wide drivers such as continued cord-cutting, the acceleration of program-matic ad buying, and evolving FCC ownership rules create both upside upside for Sinclair’s scalable broadcast infrastructure and downside risk if regulatory constraints tighten.
For a deeper, data-rich assessment of Sinclair’s valuation dynamics and how its FAST strategy compares with peers, you may find ValueRay’s analytical tools worth exploring.
