BALTIMORE (August 9, 2018) – Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBGI) (the “Company”) announced today that its Board of Directors have authorized the Company to repurchase up to $1 billion of its Class A common shares.
Commenting on the share repurchase, Chris Ripley, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “It is unfortunate that Tribune Media Company terminated our Merger Agreement.
