It appears that Sinclair is not yet through driving the pink slip express around the country and killing off newscasts.

The latest station to have their news department tossed into the Sinclair scrap heap is WGFL CBS 4 in Gainesville, FL.

Beginning May 15th, the viewers in Gainesville will have one less source for local news.

Insiders tell FTVLive that around a dozen employees will be kicked to the curb.

"Beginning May 15, The National Desk, which provides real-time national and regional news from Sinclair’s television stations across the US, will air during the station’s regularly scheduled news time periods, with an opportunity for local news cut-ins in the newscast. TND offers an alternative choice for news, and has grown exponentially over the last year, reaching nearly 3 million viewers per week, across all dayparts,” Sinclair said in a statement.

While Governor Ron DeSantis is busy fighting with Mickey Mouse, a news operation in his state is being shut down.

Suppose the staff was hoping that maybe Senator Marco Rubio or DeSantis would raise some concerns with the FCC and maybe challenge Sinclair’s license since the Gainesville station is not providing local news to its audience. In that case, it’s not going to happen.

Sinclair offers large donations to the GOP, and they are more than happy to turn and look the other way as long as Sinclair keeps sending the checks.

To those of you that are being put out of work by this shoestring company, I’m sorry; you don’t deserve this.
