Item 7.01       Regulation FD Disclosure

On August 1, 2007, Sinclair Broadcast Group (the “Company”) publicly reported its second quarter 2007 results and its outlook for the third quarter of 2007.  In that same release, the Company also announced the sale of its television station, WGGB-TV in Springfield, Massachusetts.  On the Company’s August 1, 2007 conference call with the public to discuss its earnings release, management directed the public to visit its website, www.sbgi.net, for the 2006 and 2007 historical quarterly income statements with WGGB-TV reclassified from continuing operations to discontinued operations.

 In addition to this historical information, the initial website posting inadvertently included certain forward-looking financial information relating to the third and fourth quarters of 2007.  Promptly upon realizing this information had been posted, the Company removed the information from its website.  Certain of the information was preliminary in nature, had not been reviewed or approved by the Company’s management and should not be relied upon by anyone who viewed, or has been provided with, the information.
