History
In March 2025, Rincon reached an agreement to purchase five TV stations from Sinclair Broadcast Group for $29.4 million. The transaction faced regulatory scrutiny through a petition submitted by Frequency Forward, which challenged Sinclair’s ownership framework but did not raise concerns regarding Rincon’s eligibility. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) dismissed this petition and authorized the sale on July 1, with Rincon finalizing the acquisition on July 9. Following the purchase, Rincon revealed intentions to invest in upgrading to ATSC 3.0 technology and to enhance its local news services.
Rincon further expanded its holdings on April 3, 2025, by acquiring seven stations from Imagicomm Communications, associated with INSP (TV network), targeting important markets in the Western and Southern United States. This deal was completed on July 18.
On September 22, 2025, Rincon disclosed plans for a $50 million acquisition of four stations from Standard Media, including KBSI and WDKA, which Standard had previously obtained from Sinclair in 2020. This transaction is awaiting FCC approval.
