Good day everyone, and welcome to the Sinclair First Quarter 2023 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions]
It is now my pleasure to turn the floor over to your host, Lucy Rutishauser, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Sinclair. Ma'am, the floor is yours.
Lucy Rutishauser
Thank you, operator. Participating on the call with me today are Chris Ripley, President and CEO; and Rob Weisbord, President of Broadcast and Chief Operating Officer.
I would like to also introduce our new Vice President of Investor Relations, Chris King, who we’re excited is joining us. Chris comes to us from Windstream Communications, where he was Vice President of Investor Relations. And before that, Curo Health Services, where he served as Vice President of Investor Relations and Financial Planning and Analysis.
Before transitioning to the corporate side, Chris was a senior equity research analyst at Stifel Nicolaus, where he won numerous awards for his stock picking and earnings analysis in the TMT space. Welcome, Chris.
Before we begin, I want to remind everyone that slides and supplemental information for today's earnings call are available on our website, sbgi.net, on the Investor Information page, and on the Earnings Webcast page.
I also want to remind you that today's call is a Sinclair earning call. Because we are currently soliciting proxies from our stockholders in connection with the previously announced holding company reorganization, our statements regarding the reorganization will be limited to statements contained in Sinclair Inc's prospectus and Sinclair Broadcast Group's definitive proxy statement, each filed with the SEC on April 26, 2023, as well as the Reorganization Q&A followed by Sinclair Broadcast Group with the SEC on April 2. Our stockholders are urged to read these documents because they contain important information regarding the Reorganization.
Now Billie-Jo McIntire will make our forward-looking statement disclaimer.
