Closing In on Deal with TWC, Sinclair Signs Retrans Pact with Bright House

By Andrew Gauthier 

Sinclair Broadcast Group announced today that it was entered into a new retrans agreement with cable company Bright House Networks.

Last week, Sinclair reached a tentative retrans agreement with Time Warner Cable.  Bright House’s retrans rights had been covered under Sinclair’s old deal with TWC.

Now Sinclair and Bright House have a new, multi-year arrangement for the carriage of six Sinclair stations in four markets.
