Wasn't www.cbs13.com owned by CBS/Viacom? It now links to something owned by Sinclair.

At one point, cbs13.com pointed to a generic website CBS usually provides to local stations which do not have their own site. As you point out, it now apparently redirects to Sinclair's "News Central" generic site.
My guess - someone at KOVR/Viacom Sacramento pointed it to Sinclair web space that is no longer being used by KOVR, due to its purchase by Viacom. I don't expect the redirect to last...it'll probably become the new home of the Viacom-owned 13 website sometime this week. Since the station is likely not publicizing "cbs13.com" yet, it matters only to those of us who look at such things early.

The website should coming fairly soon, as the Viacom web team just uploaded the site graphics either today or yesterday.

Just be patient, it'll probably launch next Monday. Interesting to note that it appears it will be a joint site with KMAX...
Might we see a new graphics package to coincide with the new website?! I won't get my hopes up..
