TBD (also referred to unofficially as TBD TV; branded on-air as TBD.) is an American digital multicast television network owned by the Sinclair Television Group subsidiary of the Sinclair Broadcast Group and operated by Jukin Media. Targeting millennial audiences, the network launched with a focus on viral video and reality shows, but gradually performed a channel drift to focus more on comedy programs.[3][4]
