The media company acquired the assets of WDKA-TV in Paducah, Kentucky, and KBSI-TV in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. While the financial terms were not disclosed, Sinclair stated it would provide programming, technical, and management services to both stations. The deal also included an option for Sinclair to acquire all the licensed assets of both stations in the future. This move added to Sinclair's extensive portfolio, which included owning, operating, or providing services to 180 television stations in 82 markets before this acquisition.
