State AG's Step in to Try and Stop Sinclair
/The Attorneys General in eight states are doing what they can from letting Sinclair ruin local television.
The AG's from California, Illinois Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Virginia have called on the FCC to keep the rules on how many homes TV station groups may serve.
The AG's said, “lifting or eliminating the national audience reach limit threatens diversity, competition and localism."
The Attorneys General point to Sinclair as an example of how this will be bad for local TV if the UHF discount remains in effect or if the FCC raises the cap.
Sinclair has “distributed news stories and features that all of its stations were required to run in their evening or morning newscasts,” they said.
