CNN just said 7 markets won't see the Nightline show tonight.

What's with that? I thought it was 39 markets!!

I'll have to listen to the story after the break to see if they made a mistake or did Sinclair blink.

1. Sinclair owns/controls 7 ABC affiliates, IIRC nt

4. It was 8, but

The station in Tallahassee, FL,(http://www.wtxl.com) decided to overrule them.

5. Sinclair lists 8 ABC affiliates

..among their stations. That means one station has relented and decided to air Nightline, probably due to a lot of nasty phone calls about cancelling it.

Sinclair claims 24% of the broadcarsting outlets in the US on their website. Most of their stations are Faux and UPN.

If you have one of their ABC affiliates in your area, I strongly suggest you call them and chew them out. If one station responded to pressure, perhaps they all will.
