Sinclair Stock Rebounds After Announcement

"Late Tuesday, Sinclair announced that parts of the film "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," will be shown during "A POW Story: Politics, Pressure and the Media," a program examining the use of documentaries to influence elections. The company said the show will air Friday on 40 of the company's [62] stations."

"U.S. Cellular Corp., the nation's eighth largest wireless telecommunications provider, has asked Sinclair affiliates not to run its commercials two hours before, during and after the program's airing, said President and CEO John E. Rooney. Nationwide Insurance said it "plans not to advertise during this perceived politically motivated program if Sinclair Media elects to broadcast it without fair and equal opportunity for response." And Regis Corp., an operator of haircutting salons, said it has asked Sinclair not to run any of its ads near or during the program."
