Application
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sinclair Broadcast Group (Sioux City, IA) in Apr 2016
Interview
They were not overly tough in the interview. They just have fairly high expectations in candidates. Must have relevant work experience/college degree to even be considered. After offer you are required to take a drug test and background test. (You must not have more than 3 speeding tickets to be considered and your criminal history needs to be relatively clean).
Does take a long time to hear anything, they are a large company so you will have to wait until corporate HR has time to call you. Don't be surprised if you don't hear anything for a month or two after applying.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sinclair Broadcast Group (Portland, OR) in Jun 2017
Interview
Two individuals interviewed me for the local sales assistant, ended up becoming a conversation about another position the company was looking to fill. Stations like mine are all moving focus toward digital, so that's where I ended up.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Sinclair Broadcast Group (Las Vegas, NV) in Sept 2016
Interview
Interviewer was very friendly and went down a long list of the standard interview questions. At the end of interview salary was discussed and was disappointingly low which the interviewer was aware of and seemed to agree. I inquired about the possibility of future increase in pay and/or potential for growth once established in the company but the response was not hopeful. Very nice people, just very low pay.
