(7.7%) and fast food (6.2%). No other advertising category accounted for more than 5.0% of our net time sales in 2010. No  advertiser accounted for more than 1.0% of our consolidated revenue in 2010. We conduct business with thousands of  advertisers. Our primary types of programming and their approximate percentages of 2010 net time sales were syndicated programming  (41.1%), network programming (25.2%), news (20.0%), sports programming (7.4%) and direct advertising programming (6.3%).  From a network affiliation or program service arrangement perspective, the following table sets forth our affiliate percentages  of net time sales for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:  Net Broadcast Revenues . From a revenue category standpoint, 2010 when compared to 2009 was impacted by increases in most of  the advertising sectors as the country’s economic conditions in general began to strengthen. Automotive, our largest category in  2010, was up 36.9% compared to 2009 as automotive dealers and manufacturers increased spending in response to an increase in  auto sales.   (a)  We broadcast programming from network affiliations or program service arrangements with TheCoolTV, The Country Network,  MyNetworkTV, This TV and Estrella on 69 channels through our stations’ second and third digital signals. From a revenue category standpoint, 2009 when compared to 2008 was impacted by decreases in virtually all of the advertising  sectors. However, during the later half of the year, we did see a positive trend in increased advertising spending which continued  through the end of the year. Services was our largest category in 2009; however, during the fourth quarter we began to see a trend  back towards the historical norm of automotive advertising representing our largest category as automotive dealers and  manufacturers increased spending. During 2009, automotive revenues were helped by the government’s “Cash for Clunkers”  program, however, our net times sales from the automotive sector were down 33.6% for 2009 compared to 2008. Political Revenues . Political revenues, which include time sales from political advertising, increased by $35.1 million to $42.0  million for 2010 when compared to 2009. Political revenues are typically higher in election years such as 2010. A contentious  mid-term election, resulted in 2010 political spending exceeding 2008’s $41.1 million. Political revenues were only $6.9 million in  2009 due to the absence of significant elections. We expect political revenues to decrease in 2011 from 2010 levels.  Local Revenues . Excluding political revenues, our local broadcast revenues, which include local times sales, retransmission  revenues and other local revenues, were up $53.4 million for 2010, compared to 2009. The increase is due to an increase in  advertising spending particularly in the automotive sector and an increase in retransmission revenues from MVPDs. Excluding  political revenues, our local broadcast revenues were down $21.2 million for 2009 when compared to 2008. This decrease was  primarily due to negative financial and economic conditions, which impeded 2009 advertising spending levels, as well as, a  decrease due to a change in networks for the Super Bowl programming from FOX to NBC. These decreases were offset by an  increase in revenues from retransmission consent agreements with MVPDs. National Revenues. Our national broadcast revenues, excluding political revenues, which include national time sales and other  national revenues, were up $12.3 million for 2010 when compared to 2009. Over the past few years, national revenues have  trended downward; however, our 2010 results were up. This was primarily due to the amplified decline in 2009 from the effects  of the recent recession and a rebound in advertising spending in 2010 along with the assistance from an improved automotive  sector. Excluding political revenues, our national broadcast revenues were down $29.2 million for 2009 when compared to 2008. This decrease was partially due to negative financial and economic conditions, which impeded 2009 advertising spending levels. 14    Sinclair Broadcast Group  # of  Percent of Net Time Sales for the  Twelve Months Ended December 31,  Net Time Sales Percent Change  Stations  2010  2009 ’10 vs. ‘09  ’09 vs. ‘08  FOX  20  45.5%  45.0% 17.7% (19.0%) ABC  9  21.9%  20.0%  27.4%  (25.6%)  MyNetworkTV  16  15.8%  17.1% 7.4% (13.8%) The CW  10  13.0%  14.2%  6.3%  (20.3%)  CBS  2  3.0%  2.8% 23.4% (16.9%) NBC  1  0.7%  0.7%  8.3%  (21.9%)  Digital (a) 0.1%  0.2% 12.5% 22.3% Total  58
