The Nest is an American digital broadcast television network owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group. The network features a mix of reality, true crime and celebrity TV shows licensed from A&E Networks.[1]

History

On October 10, 2023, Sinclair announced that they had plans to launch a new over-the-air television network on October 30.[2] The network replaced the network Stadium on TV stations across the U.S. after they sold control of the network to Jerry Reinsdorf's Silver Chalice in May of the same year.[3] At launch, the network would be available in more than 50% of U.S. over-the-air television households, including the major markets.[4]
