Sinclair produces and distributes their own segments and is 'using'  the 'trusted' local news times to run them.  It's unusual.   The thing is, one used to know what they were getting when they tuned into their local news stations...that appears to be changing.  This isn't as 'simple' nor is it the same as choosing to hear some MSNBC or Fox when you 'choose' to.  Since you called it a problem and for those who agree, my simple solution (for now) would be to keep local news station on KEZI.
