WLOS (Sinclair Broadcast Group)
U.S. right
WLOS is an ABC affiliate in Asheville, North Carolina, owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, one of the largest owners of local TV stations in the United States. Sinclair has a well-documented conservative orientation, requiring its stations to air centrally produced political content that leans right, and has maintained a friendly posture toward the Trump administration. In 2025–2026, Sinclair pulled Jimmy Kimmel's show after he criticized a Trump ally and carried Trump's primetime address on its ABC and NBC stations.
