Free Press To FCC: Revoke Sinclair’s Licenses If They Lied To You

By Free Press

Federal Communications Commission Administrative Law Judge Jane Halprin issued an order Tuesday dismissing the Sinclair Broadcast Group’s application to transfer Tribune Media Company’s broadcast licenses to Sinclair. Halprin found that an administrative inquiry would be a purely “academic exercise” because Sinclair withdrew its application in August 2018.
In her order, Halprin also stated that a broad inquiry into whether Sinclair is of fit moral character to “hold any station license . . . would be more appropriately considered in the context of a future proceeding in which Sinclair is seeking Commission approval, for example, involving an application for a license assignment, transfer, or renewal.”
“At that time, it may be determined that an examination of the misrepresentation and/or lack of candor allegations raised in this proceeding is warranted as part of a more general assessment of Sinclair’s basic character qualifications to be a Commission licensee,” wrote Judge Halprin, adding, “[h]onesty with the Commission is a foundational requirement for a Commission licensee” and that “providing false statements to the Commission has been a basis for license revocation since the inception of the Communications Act in 1934.”
