Aw crap.....another faux noise channel???

Sinclair Broadcast Group, which for months has denied any interest in challenging Fox News while awaiting approval of a merger with Tribune Co., is gearing up to do just that.

Sinclair executive chairman David Smith has been holding meetings with potential future employees, including former Fox News staff members, and laying out a vision for an evening block of opinion and news programming that would compete with Fox’s top-rated lineup, according to a person familiar with the meetings.

They once had only Fox News, but now there’s OneAmerica and the Sinclair crap to spread their aging, pallid viewership thinner and thinner.
