History
Sinclair revealed on October 10, 2023, its intention to debut The Nest on October 30.[1] This new network took over the slot previously occupied by Stadium across Sinclair's stations nationwide, following Sinclair’s sale of controlling interest in Stadium to Jerry Reinsdorf's Silver Chalice in May 2023.[2] Upon its launch, The Nest was accessible to more than half of U.S. over-the-air households, including key metropolitan areas.[3]
On February 20, 2024, Sinclair disclosed a new distribution deal with Tegna, which extended The Nest’s availability to an additional 35 stations across the country.[4]

The Nest’s programming lineup primarily consists of reality and true crime shows sourced mainly from A&E Networks, drawing heavily from the content libraries of A&E and History.
