I just noticed the generic DirecTV channel logo (logo_id 0) has been changed to an all-white version.

 

[lordodogg]

Also just noticed all of the Cinema PPV channels now display the DTV logo (logo_id 0) rather than the Cinema logo (logo_id 895).

A Quick Apology. I sometimes fail to notice that my File Explorer defaults to Last Week's folder , even if I've just reviewed the new data. This leads me to re-post last week's Analysis file rather than the correct update. You deserve better. I will try to be more accurate

What is Sinclairs reason for the changes?

It's a thing they've been doing in many markets since 2015 and especially back in 2021. They are moving affiliations off primary channels of stations owned by a "shell" company or "sidecar" of Sinclair and putting them on a sub-channel of a station actually owned by Sinclair. The "old" affiliate then either gets removed or moved to a lower channel number, often left to simply serve as a full-time affiliate of a "diginet", or sub-channel network.
