The FCC approved Gray Television’s purchase of Red River Broadcast’s NBC affiliate KDLT Sioux Falls, despite the fact that Gray already owned ABC affiliate KSFY, in the same market.
While TV ownership groups look at this as a win and shows that the FCC might be letting groups by up more stations in a single market, others see it as a slippery slope.
Since Apollo Global, buyer of COX Media stations, has an eye on Tegna also, I repeat my claim that Apollo might own both KIRO 7 and KING 5 in a year’s time.
