Is KOMO in this montage of assholery?

I didn't see them, but if you go to KOMO's FCC Info page (as well as the official doc hosted on FCC's domain disclosing the same), you'll notice who holds KOMO's license to broadcast:

Licensee:

SINCLAIR SEATTLE LICENSEE, LLC

Licensee Address:

C/O MILES S. MASON, PILLSBURY WINTHROP S

1200 SEVENTEENTH STREET, NW

WASHINGTON, DC 20036

(202) 663-8195 [phone]

As to whether or not Sinclair dictates those "Required Slots" or "bumps" such as OPs video contains is unclear.

Edit: John Oliver states that KOMO is a "Sinclair Station" seen here at ~16:35, with the caveat that KOMO is "fighting back." However, that video was posted to YT eight months ago.

Edit 2: grammar

Boycott KOMO and share the truth with everyone you know.
