Award-Winning Local Stories
The National News Desk Weekend Edition Features Award-Winning Local Storytelling from Across the U.S.
Anonymous
Sinclair Broadcast Group's National News Desk Weekend Edition pulls together local news stories from TV stations across the United States, according to KOMO News, News Channel 9, and more than a dozen other Sinclair-owned outlets. The program highlights award-winning reporting from local newsrooms, bringing community-level stories to a national audience.
The broadcast airs on a wide network of Sinclair stations, from WGME in Maine to News3LV in Las Vegas and KATV in Arkansas. The goal is to give viewers across the country a window into local journalism they might otherwise never see.
Sinclair Stations Span the Entire Country
The National News Desk Weekend Edition runs on Sinclair-owned stations in nearly every region of the US. Outlets include Fox17 in Nashville, WUTV29 in Buffalo, and KTUL in Tulsa. That wide reach means local stories get a platform far beyond their home markets.
Western stations like Idaho News, KMPH in Fresno, and Bakersfield Now also carry the program. So does Fox11 Online and WGXA in Georgia. Together, these outlets form one of the largest local broadcast networks in the country.
Local Storytelling at the Heart of the Broadcast
The program's focus is on award-winning local journalism. Sinclair says its newsrooms produce original reporting that reflects the real concerns of everyday communities. The Weekend Edition packages that work into a single national broadcast every week.
Local TV remains one of the most trusted news sources in the US. By sharing stories across stations, Sinclair gives smaller-market reporting a bigger stage. A story from WGXA in Macon, Georgia, for example, can reach viewers in Seattle or Las Vegas the same weekend it airs locally.
Sinclair's Broadcast Footprint Keeps Growing
Sinclair Broadcast Group is one of the largest TV station owners in the United States. It operates dozens of local stations in markets big and small. The National News Desk is one of its flagship shared programs, connecting those stations under a common editorial banner.
The Weekend Edition format lets the network make the most of its size. Instead of each station working alone, reporters and producers share resources and stories. That model helps local newsrooms punch above their weight, according to stations like KATV and KTUL.
