13. I wonder if there's any possibility that ABC could switch their affiliates in Sinclair markets to other stations

I know nothing about this and am speculating out of my ass - which makes me more insightful than the President of the United States.

There's probably long term affiliate contracts that give those stations the right to not air programming that they choose. But, it would be beautiful if Sinclair stations could lose their network affiliation and instead have Matlock reruns as the lead in to their right wing local news.
