Sinclair Statement on Union Representation for KOMO/KUNS News Photojournalists

Sinclair issued the following statement regarding union representation for news photojournalists at KOMO/KUNS in Seattle: "KOMO/KUNS received an August 18, 2026 notice from the National Labor Relations Board that the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and Moving Picture Machine Operators of the United States and Canada Local 600, AFL-CIO has voluntarily disclaimed interest in continuing to represent news photojournalists at the stations. The union's decision follows an employee-initiated decertification petition and vote concerning continued IATSE representation. As a result of IATSE Local 600's decision, the union will no longer serve as the bargaining representative for this group of employees. Sinclair strives to be the employer of choice in every market we serve, and remains committed to maintaining a direct and productive relationship with our employees. Our employees are the heart of our company, and we value their contributions and dedication to serving the Seattle community."

Sinclair CEO Responds to FCC Vote on Ownership Restrictions

Sinclair CEO Chris Ripley issued a statement in response to the Federal Communications Commission's vote on national ownership restrictions, which reads" "Today's media landscape looks nothing like it did decades ago when the 39 percent limit was set by the FCC. Updating these rules to reflect dramatic changes across the media industry will set the stage for local broadcasters to begin to compete on a more level playing field. We applaud Commission leadership and the dedicated Commission staff for their work to modernize the rules and give broadcasters a fighting chance to preserve local news and continue to serve their local communities."
