The following is a list of affiliates of TBD, a United States digital broadcast television network owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group that focuses on internet-based series and content targeting millennial audiences. The network commenced programming on February 13, 2017 with at least two broadcast affiliates, KDSM-TV/Des Moines and WLUK-TV/Green Bay, adding the network to one of their digital subchannels on that date.[1][2][3] The February 13 date was the beginning of a "soft roll-out" of TBD affiliates; by February 24, 49 stations, all owned or operated by Sinclair, are either carrying the network or have been indicated as a future affiliate. TBD will be added to other Sinclair stations during Spring 2017 before being offered to stations in markets outside of Sinclair's geographic footprint.[4]
Stations listed in BOLD are TBD owned-and-operated.
