    Conservative media companies join opposition to Sinclair’s purchase of Tribune TV stations

  • Share
  • On Monday, the right-leaning broadcast company One America News Network joined Newsmax and public interest and liberal groups in opposing Sinclair Broadcasting Group’s proposed $3.9 billion purchase of Tribune Media, a merger that would expand Sinclair’s market share of broadcast TV stations from more than 30 percent of U.S. households to 72 percent of households. Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox is also reportedly threatening to pull Fox affiliate stations if the merger goes through, hitting Sinclair’s stock price last week, and the American Cable Association and DISH Network have asked the FCC to require more information from Sinclair about how the merger would affect the public. Monday was the deadline for asking the Federal Communications Commission to block the deal.
