    Glencairn-Sinclair ownership and local marketing arrangement challenged

    The station's ownership and operating structure became the subject of regulatory and public challenges after the WFBC-TV license was assigned to Glencairn while WLOS, owned by Sinclair, operated the station under a local marketing agreement. Critics argued that the relationship effectively gave Sinclair control of two stations in the same market despite ownership restrictions, and questioned Glencairn's claimed independence and minority-ownership status.
