Rincon Broadcasting Group LLC is an American broadcasting company based in Atlanta, Georgia. Rincon Broadcasting was founded in late 2024 by Todd Parkin, who serves as the company's president. Previously, Parkin was a sales executive for FanDuel Sports Network and the former CEO of PBC Broadcasting from 2009 to 2013.
History In March 2025, Sinclair Broadcast Group announced it would sell five of its stations across the Midwest to Rincon for $29.4 million. However, on April 14, a petition to deny was filed to the FCC by Frequency Forward, a public-interest organization arguing that the sale perpetuated Sinclair’s use of side‑car ownership structures; this petition did not challenge Rincon’s qualifications. This petition was dismissed by the FCC on July 1, approving of the sale. The purchase was consummated by Rincon on July 9, with Rincon stating it would invest in ATSC 3.0 upgrades and an expansion in local news.
On April 3, 2025, Imagicomm Communications, a shell company affiliated with INSP, announced it would sell seven of its stations across the Western and Southern U.S. to Rincon for an undisclosed amount. The purchase was completed and consummated by Rincon on July 18.
On September 22, 2025, Rincon announced they would buy all four stations from Standard Media for $50 million, pending FCC approval. This includes KBSI and WDKA, which had been acquired from Sinclair in 2020. The sale was completed on February 27, 2026.
In February 2026, it was announced that Sinclair Broadcast Group would acquire KMYT for just over $4.1 million. This comes after Sinclair acquired KOKI and moved the Fox affiliate to KTUL. The sale was completed on April 14.
On March 25, 2026, it was announced that Rincon would be selling some of its stations to Community News Media (a subsidiary of Standard General/Standard Media) for $116.5 million.
