BALTIMORE, Sept. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Sinclair
Broadcast Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: SBGI) ("Sinclair") proudly
kicked-off its fifth season of 'Full Measure' on Sept. 8, hosted by Emmy award-winning
investigative journalist Sharyl
Attkisson.
Since launching in 2015, the Sunday morning news program has
seen year-to-year audience growth, capturing viewers by providing
long-form reports on a range of political and socioeconomic topics.
Today, the show reaches nearly 700,000 households on a weekly basis
with ratings that consistently outperform its cable
competitors.
"We are incredibly thankful to all of our dedicated and loyal
viewers that have made the show a success for the past five years,"
said Executive Producer Batt Humphreys. "The model of our show
demonstrates that audiences want an honest representation of the
news, and this season we will continue delivering on our promise to
bring viewers fearless, off-narrative stories that often go
unreported."
The inaugural season five episode unpacks Greece's immigration crisis, drawing parallels
to the immigration debate in the U.S. Additional investigative
reports planned for this fall include reality checks on illegal
immigration and drugs on our border, investigations into billions
of dollars in alleged fraud in the spending of U.S. tax funds in
Puerto Rico, and stories from a
dozen foreign countries that face issues relevant to the U.S.
"Four years ago, we were given the opportunity to create a new
space in the Sunday morning news landscape, one with real
reporting, rather than a lineup of the same talking heads," said
Attkisson. "I'm incredibly proud of what we've built and our
sustained success. I'm confident our format will continue to
resonate with viewers."
'Full Measure' airs live across Sinclair broadcast TV news
stations every Sunday at 9:30 a.m.
ET. Viewers can also watch the show live online, or on
demand for free with the STIRR app.
