WDYR

WDYR is an NBC affiliate serving Knoxville, TN, and it's surrounding areas. Broadcasting on channel 10, WDYR is owned and operated by Sinclair Broadcast Group. WDYR also operates three subchannels: 10.2 (for TBD), 10.3 (for Comet), and 10.4 (for Charge!). Following the merger of Oakhurst Broadcasting, Higgins Broadcasting, and Island Television into Adelphia Communications and Adelphia absorbing the remaining stations, Adelphia decided to shift focus on the stations that are in the top 50 DMA market. The remaining stations spun off to their own ownership group named Young Broadcasting, taking it's name from the former company before they merged in Media General. On March 30, 2017, WDYR was sold by Young Broadcasting to NBCUniversal. On December 15, 2017, NBCUniversal announced that it was selling WDYR to Sinclair Broadcast Group as part of a large restructuring by NBCUniversal. The deal was finalized on December 22, 2017.
