Sinclair, Inc.

Sinclair, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBGI), formerly Sinclair Broadcast Group, is a diversified media company and one of the largest U.S. local television broadcasters. The company operates 177-185+ TV stations across roughly 79-86 markets affiliated with all major broadcast networks (Fox, NBC, CBS, ABC, MyNetworkTV, The CW), owns Tennis Channel, holds a stake in YES Network, and runs digital multicast networks Comet, Charge!, Roar, and The Nest. Sinclair Ventures houses the company's non-broadcast operations, including ad/martech units (AMP, Drive Auto, Free State, Digital Remedy/Compulse) and broadcast technology subsidiaries (Dielectric, ONE Media Technologies, Bitpath, CAST.ERA, Broadspan Wireless). In 2019 Sinclair acquired the Fox Sports regional sports networks for ~$9.6 billion through a Diamond Sports Group joint venture; Diamond was rebranded Bally Sports in 2021, filed Chapter 11 in March 2023, exited bankruptcy in January 2025 as Main Street Sports Group, rebranded again as FanDuel Sports Network, and is winding down operations in mid-2026. Sinclair publishes no public developer APIs.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Sinclair, Inc. the way a machine reads it — 27 machine-readable artifacts, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Sinclair, Inc. scores 9.6/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.
