FCC暂停了对Sinclair Broadcasting对Tribune Media的39亿美元购买的审查，因为广播巨头认为剥离将有助于这笔交易从监管机构获得绿灯。
委员会上周表示，将暂停其非正式的180天“射击时钟”，直到辛克莱（Sinclair）提交剥离申请，而FCC有机会充分审查该报价。
The latest move follows a Jan. 4 meeting where Sinclair’s EVP and General Counsel Barry Faber and SVP of Strategy and Policy Rebecca Hanson discussed the proceeding with Matthew Berry, chief of staff to Chairman Ajit Pai, and Alison Nemeth, media adviser to Pai, according to an单方面归档。
辛克莱高管讨论了有限的状态mpany’s divestiture plan in order to make it compliant with the national audience cap and local ownership rules, along with Sinclair’s communications with the Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division.
Faber告诉FCC代表，辛克莱（Sinclair）“评估了剥离，以及在对申请的修正案中进行的前4个表演，符合最近对所有权规则的更改一致的申请”。
Reports earlier last week indicated Sinclair is nearing a deal to sell 10 local television stations to Fox Broadcasting as part of its divestitures. The deal would include stations in markets where Sinclair would have two full-power stations following the Tribune acquisition, including Denver and Seattle, the Financial Times reported. Adding Sinclair stations would boost Fox’s local-TV ownership footprint by more than a third, and sources told the Times that Fox is hoping the deal would help monetize its NFL rights.
