krcrtv (carrying campaign framing)

KRCR-TV is an ABC and Fox affiliate in Redding, California, owned since 2017 by Sinclair Broadcast Group, which is widely documented as having a conservative editorial orientation. Sinclair requires all its local stations—including KRCR—to air centrally produced conservative commentary segments, giving the station a right-leaning tilt beyond its local news output. Under Sinclair's ownership, the station's coverage aligns with the broader network posture that has been broadly supportive of Republican administrations, including the current Trump second term.
