Nation's largest TV chain orders all 62 stations to show movie without commercials next week.
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Sinclair Broadcast Group, owner of the largest chain of television stations in the nation, plans to air a documentary that accuses Sen. John Kerry of betraying American prisoners during the Vietnam War, a newspaper reported Monday.
The network has ordered all 62 of its stations to air "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal" without commercials in prime-time next week, the Washington Post said, just two weeks before the Nov. 2 election.
Sinclair's television group, which includes affiliates of all the major networks, reaches nearly a quarter of all U.S. television households, according to the company's Web site. But the affiliates owned by the major television networks reach a larger percentage of U.S. homes because they are in the largest markets.
A dozen of Sinclair's stations are in the critical swing states of Ohio, Florida, Iowa and Wisconsin.

Kewl! :-)
I'll roll tape on this movie...
How can I find out what statsion it will be on in my 'hood?
This is going to be fantastic!!
Everyone should tape the broadcast, personal video, and remember the day the honest media brought down the traitor from taking over our country.
I hope they get the chance - I hope it does get the "news" rating -
I heard the DNC(or someone on that side) filed a complaint over this -
just a thought -
Ahhh yes! Just in time for my new DVR. Now I need to find a Sinclair station in the DFW market.
Michael Moore won't release his video on free broadcast because his propaganda was about money and that's all.
Thanks, Ill be able to see it!
Heck yes! Its about time some big company came forward for our President! I have gotten tired of e-mailing all these socialist companies about supporting sKerry, now I can e-mail one in support of them!
I believe we have 2 stations in Columbus, OH that is Sinclair owned. WSYX and WTTE, both share news desks and go by the name "Newscenter"... Wonder if it will be on both?
I already watched it from the website for $4.99. Good stuff.
This is rich.
I beg to differ. I have yet to see any evidence of "outrage" from the MPAA or Michael Moore directed at Fidel Castro. That was a free television screening that may have been officially sanctioned.
They can't air F-9/11; unless it is SEVERELY edited, it does not meet the FCC standards to air on broadcast TV.
