The Howard Stirk Holdings-owned NBC affiliate serving Flint, Mich., that enjoys a shared services agreement with Sinclair Inc. can be transferred to the company led by President/CEO Chris Ripley.
At the same time, Sinclair has been given the OK by the Commission to acquire a shared services agreement partner in Traverse City, Mich., owned by Cunningham Broadcasting, and the Deerfield Media-owned ABC affiliate serving Rochester, N.Y.
It’s a defeat for DirecTV.
