The owner of the MyNetwork TV affiliate serving the Motor City has notified the day-to-day head of the television broadcasting company that seeks to purchase the station that it will not participate in any regulatory appeal of a decision that allows the multimillion-dollar transaction to “proceed with caution.”
Could that refusal to participate not only lead to a non-consummation of the sale of WADL-38 in Detroit, but also place all of the “sidecar” arrangements presently allowed by the Commission under new scrutiny, jeopardizing the Shared Services Agreement benefits of multiple leading broadcast station groups?
