As opposed to "all stations." I didn't want to give the impression that it was ABC itself that was pulling the show.

From the right-wing site, "NewsMax":

One of the nation's newest and fastest-growing TV news networks says it's tired of left-leaning news reporting and wants to offer Americans a fair and balanced perspective, just as Fox News Channel does.

Fox News eschewed politically correct news to become the dominant force on cable news. And now the Sinclair Broadcast Group has been following in Fox's footsteps to do the same for broadcast news in news markets across the nation.

The Sinclair Broadcast Group (SBG) is the eighth-largest network of television stations, based on revenues, and the nation's largest independent group owner of stations, according to Broadcasting & Cable.

Headquartered in the suburbs of Baltimore, it owns or manages 62 television stations in 39 markets - giving the network coverage of 25 percent of the nation's television audience.

I think that says it all.
