The opposition to Sinclair Broadcast Group's nearly $4 billion merger with Tribune Media Co., is fighting the deal with words and documents.
The Hunt Valley, Md.-headquartered Sinclair's acquisition, announced three months ago, could create a broadcasting powerhouse with more than 200 TV stations in 108 markets.
Not all in the media and TV industry think such a deal should be approved by regulators. "We believe this merger as proposed is unlawful, not in the public interest and should be rejected," said Matthew Polka, CEO of the American Cable Association Monday. The ACA represents about 750 smaller telecom/broadband/pay-TV providers in small and rural areas.
