Called it with an asterisk: they let the 11:00P news show run over and THEN switched to Plastic MAGA News.
Fortunately Jimmy's first two segments (his extended monologue) were on teh YouTubes and are very much worth your time if you didn't or were unable to see them.

Here's a fun.one, from Tim Burke: Multiple Sinclar stations apparently had no interest in doing even more work for no additional pay, so instead of tacking on another half-hour to their 11/10 o'clock newscasts, they just left the newscast's closing title card on screen with dead air for 30 minutes. So now Sinclair's not only going to war with its network, it's also fighting its own stations. And I encourage them to continue.

My brother in law to be won some style points by telling me about the Dorktown Diaries, even though I knew. Many summers were made tolerable by listening to Dave Niehaus and Rick Rizzs irrespective of the on-field ineptitude.
As the workers compensation reps for Mariners, Seahawks and Kraken it certainly makes following the teams very different. Many times the game is coming down the stretch and I am praying for expiry without injury.

Sinclair is also fighting with a new browser-based playout system designed more for OTT and FAST than linear. When my station switched last year, we found that it's very hard to make quick changes to the playlist like it was with our old system (Harris, if you're in the know and curious). We got hubbed in May (and shitcanned because of it) and while we'd overcome a lot of our teething issues through trial and error, there was a lot that the hub had to learn on its own and situations they had to plan for. Even now, sources are misrouted, ABC slate airs before World News comes on, and commercials loop over and over again. They even had the previous day's newscast from our cable channel cutting in over General Hospital one afternoon.
That half hour of slate (and the 11th-hour decision not to run the Charlie Kirk special) sounds very much like one of the hub's many automation gremlins. And like you, I am all here for them.

Yeah, KCPQ (13) is the main Fox, and KZJO is the 22 you mention. Sinclair snapping up KUNS happened way back when it was a Telemundo and therefore off most people's radar, but they turned it into the CW affiliate after KSTW gave that up in 2023. So pretty much all of Seattle is duopolied in some form or fashion. The radio (for as much as that matters anymore; the Kraken don't even reference it when they present their broadcasts) is just as bad.

Was that just your station or did Sinclair call it off wholesale? I didn't hear about this. (Obviously I had no plans to watch it.)
