CARDIFF BY THE SEA, Calif., May 1, 2019 (Newswire.com) - MGN Online is pleased to announce Sinclair Broadcast Group contract renewal with MGN Online through 2019​. ​​​​Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. was founded in 1986 where it later went public in 1995. As the company and demand for additional News Graphics grew, Sinclair Broadcast Group devoted MGN Online to be their Premier Resource for TV News Graphics in 2003. For the past 17 years; MGN Online has continuously provided Sinclair owned Broadcast Stations with unlimited access to our extensive and unique Broadcast Graphics Services. MGN Online provides its affiliates with the ability to select from an array of Graphics and Photos including: Still, Animated, 3D Images, and Maps. In addition to our premier Graphics Service, MGN Online also offers an Image Request Service which enables MGN Online Affiliates to obtain fully customized content as needed.

In today’s society, we see constant innovations in technology and changes on a daily basis. MGN Online endeavors to provide continuous enhancements of its Content and Services. MGN has updated several areas of service to better serve Sinclair Broadcast Group’s approximate 170+ stations. New features include: Daily Top Stories & Breaking News Content library, Embedded Image Credits, and Content Management Settings Tools. Content Management Settings or “CMS” were designed to help Sinclair Broadcast Group attain better control of their Graphic look and Style throughout the entire group. All Sinclair Broadcast Group Affiliates obtain unlimited full access to the entirety of MGN Online’s News Content. The addition of BuildMyOwnPro (BMOpro) in 2018 has been a huge success to the company. This innovative software solution was created to cultivate novice artists’ ability to produce professional Graphics, Maps, and Templates in just a few minutes. Since its launch, several Sinclair Broadcast Group Affiliates have adopted the use of BMOpro to aid in their daily Graphic Production needs.
