Sinclair Broadcast Group, LLC, a subsidiary of Sinclair Inc.

"We are thrilled about our partnership with Futuri and the integration of TopLine® into our sales operations," said Ryan Moore, Senior Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer, Sinclair, Inc. "This technology not only equips our sales team with cutting-edge tools and a competitive edge to engage new advertisers, but it also empowers them to spend more quality time with our clients, enhancing our relationships and driving our sales strategy forward."

"Sinclair’s adoption of TopLine® represents a shared commitment to innovation and a significant leap forward for the media industry,” said Daniel Anstandig, CEO of Futuri. “Sinclair's forward-thinking ethos perfectly complements our vision at Futuri, setting the stage for exciting developments in media technology and audience engagement."
