Some sad news coming out of Sinclair's HQ in Maryland. 

Word is that Sinclair's Group News Director Chris Manson has died. 

Manson had been battling cancer and lost his fight this week. Manson had been with Sinclair corporate for just over 4 years. Before that he was the News Director at KSEE (Fresno) for 3 years.

He was also the Group Vice President of News for Nexstar for almost 4 years, before heading to Fresno.  

Condolences to his family and his friends and co-workers at Sinclair.
