Since September 2013, when Sinclair Inc. announced it would be acquiring a large group of broadcast TV stations from New Age Media, a Wilkes Barre-Scranton property’s ownership has served as a prime example of what a company can do to operate a station it cannot legally purchase due to the FCC’s national TV ownership reach cap.
Now, Sinclair is taking the step to make this station an owned-and-operated entity, given the anticipated thawing of the cap by Commission Chairman Brendan Carr.
