The broadcast business may have had a rough go in recent times, but one thing hasn’t changed is the importance of live sports, said Christopher Ripley, CEO Sinclair Broadcast Group, the second largest TV station collective in the country.
Sinclair recently reorganized, dropping the words “broadcasting group” from its holding company name and putting its dozens of broadcast stations into one of two divisions. The other division, Ventures, includes such high-growth opportunities as the Tennis Channel and its related media outlets, and the Compulse marketing and advertising platform.
