In a deal that makes its multicast networks easier to find over-the-air in major markets, Sinclair has agreed to pay Disney’s ABC Owned Television Stations to carry its Charge! network on its eight owned-and-operated stations.
Sinclair estimates that being on the ABC outlets — often the top stations in big markets such as WABC New York, KABC Los Angeles, WLS Chicago and WPVI Philadelphia — makes the action-and-adventure-themed Charge! available in 4 million new over-the-air households and 3.73 million new pay TV/cable households.
