On October 10, 2023, Sinclair announced that they had plans to launch a new over-the-air television network on October 30.[3] The network replaced the network Stadium on TV stations across the U.S. after they sold control of the network to Jerry Reinsdorf's Silver Chalice in May of the same year.[4] At launch, the network was available in more than 50% of U.S. over-the-air television households, including the major markets.[5]
On February 20, 2024, Sinclair announced that Tegna agreed to carry the network to 35 stations across the country.[6]
