This has been making the rounds since the middle of 21, and possibly further back than that. Not to excuse them, but they're all affiliate stations from two companies, both owned by the same people, the Sinclaire broadcast group.
It could be on account of these 15 Billionaires who collectively own America's News Media Companies: Carlos Slim Helu - The New York Times, Warren Buffett - regional daily papers, Peter Thiel, Viktor Vekselberg - Gawker, Rupert Murdoch and Michael Bloomberg are longtime media moguls who made their fortunes in the news business. Others, like Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, bought publications as a side investment after building a substantial fortune in another industry.
Billionaires own part or all of several of America's influential national newspapers, including The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times , Comcast CEO Brian Roberts and Liberty Media Chairman John Malone, own or control cable TV networks, Michael Bloomberg - Bloomberg LP and Bloomberg Media, Rupert Murdoch - News Corp, Donald and Samuel "Si" Newhouse - Advance Publications, Cox Family - Atlanta Journal-Constitution, John Henry - The Boston Globe, Sheldon Adelson - The Las Vegas Review-Journal, Morningstar CEO Joe Mansueto,Mortimer Zuckerman - US News & World Report, New York Daily News Michael Bloomberg, the richest billionaire in the media business, Barbey family - Village Voice, Stanley Hubbard – Hubbard Broadcasting, Patrick Soon-Shiong - pharmaceutical billionaire, Tribune Publishing Co.
As far as I know, even this info is outdated, as Newscorp and a huge part of the Fox networks are now owned by Disney, so it got consolidated even more than this.
It's worth pointing out that Fox News and Sports were spun off to the Murdoch group so it's not owned by DisneyNewsCorp.
IMO if you're looking at consolidation the more important suspects are the global news agencies, owned by people like the Rothschilds, where all the other papers get their stories from.

Hearst was an amateur and "Citizen Kane" was a fairy tale compared to the current state of the "news" media.
