What the hell is Disney thinking? Sinclair is gleefully shredding the social fabric of America.

That Sinclair owned stations have been airing ABC for years and that not doing so would mean many parts of the US would no longer get ABC.

Sinclair owns 30 ABC stations and has so for many years. If Disney yanked the ABC affiliation from these stations that’s 30 markets where you gotta find a new affiliate. Factor in time and cost of doing so - plus the fact that viewers are creatures of habit and likely wouldn’t follow ABC to some low rated last place replacement station - it makes sense that Disney renewed the contract
