Cunningham ownership-structure controversy
WRGT-TV's formal ownership through Glencairn, later Cunningham Broadcasting, drew criticism because Sinclair provided extensive operational control while direct common ownership of WRGT-TV and WKEF was restricted by federal broadcast rules. The arrangement was cited by critics as an example of a sidecar structure used to work around ownership limits.
