Sinclair Broadcast Reports Quarter Loss

BALTIMORE (AP) -- Television-station operator Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc. fell to a loss in its latest quarter due to a $44.1 million write-down of goodwill.

The company also said it expects first-quarter revenue below year-ago levels amid a continued slowdown in automobile advertising, its largest advertising category, as well as declines in telecommunications and movie advertising.

The Baltimore-based television broadcast company on Thursday said it lost $2.59 million, or 6 cents a share, on revenue of $188.1 million in the fourth quarter.

Last year, it earned $18.6 million, or 19 cents a share, on revenue of $179 million in the fourth quarter.

2. Yippee!
Let's make sure that similar things happen to Fox News and CNN too by not watching them and boycotting companies that advertise on them. Starve the propaganda beast!!

I've gone so far as to change my online buying habits to not buy things from companies in red states.

7. "amid a continued slowdown in automobile advertising"
The auto makers figured out that the scumbags who watch their stupid asshat network probably aren't going to buy another car anytime soon, the demographic is too old.


Ode to the car salesman,

Over 55, it's their last ride.
