Sinclair Makes Last Ditch Effort To Salvage Tribune Merger. Will FCC Bite?

By Free Press

The Sinclair Broadcast Group floated a plan Wednesday to divest two Texas television stations in an attempt to salvage its proposed merger with Tribune Media, which FCC Chairman Ajit Pai designated for an administrative-law hearing on Monday due to "serious concerns" about the transaction.

Pai's Monday statement suggests that the divestitures Sinclair had previously proposed would be sent to a hearing because, in the chairman's words, the "evidence we've received suggests that certain station divestitures that have been proposed to the FCC would allow Sinclair to control those stations in practice, even if not in name, in violation of the law."
