 | | "KSMO is the second television station we've sold since announcing our asset rationalization program in 2001," commented David Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sinclair. |
 | | It allows us to divest of a station that is at a competitive disadvantage, and it allows Meredith, who already owns a station in Kansas City, to create operating efficiencies and scale that should strengthen KSMO's financial performance in the market. |
 | | We plan to continue to market certain of our assets in an effort to improve our balance sheet and enhance our competitive profile." Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc., one of the largest and most diversified television broadcasting companies, currently owns and operates, programs or provides sales services to 61 television stations in 38 markets. |
