The FCC said that Sinclair violated its rules on identifying sponsored content. The programming in question was broadcast more than 1,700 times, the FCC said. The stories resembled independently generated news coverage that aired during the local news or as longer-form stories aired as 30-minute television programs without identifying the true sponsor of the content, the FCC said.
