Full Measure is the first-ever program produced by the Sinclair Television Group, which owns 162 TV stations, covering 38% of the nation’s TV homes. Most stations will air it at 9:30 a.m. Sundays, or later in the morning in some markets where Sinclair owns more than one station.

The former CBS correspondent will host a half-hour Sunday news program on the group’s network affiliates that will be a blend of investigative and political journalism, with a focus on accountability.
