Sister stations are stations that are owned by the same company as them. For example WOOD-TV in Grand Rapids is the sister station to WLNS in Lansing -- both are owned by Nexstar. WNBC in NYC is sister to KNBC in LA -- both are owned by NBCUniversal... etc etc etc

I was always curious about this. An NBC, CBS, ABC, and FOX-owned station would call another O&O a sister station, a network affiliate would call a station owned by the same company a sister station, but why is it that a CBS, NBC, ABC, CW, or FOX station would call an affiliate owned by a different company or a network O&O a sister station? I've been wondering about this for years.
