Sinclair and WGN

The FCC is once again looking at the Tribune merger with Sinclair, and they are accepting comments in favor or against. Odds are they will ignore the comments, but it has worked in the past. Charley Meyerson's newletter Public Square has the details for exactly how to make those comments...

WORRIED ABOUT THE WGNs? If you’re of a mind to let the FCC know how you feel about Trump-aligned Sinclair Broadcast Group’s plan to acquire Tribune Media, parent of WGN-TV and Radio, the FCC site doesn’t make it obvious. Here’s how:

Go to this page (where you can read others’ comments).
Click on the “+ Express” link in the lefthand column.
Make sure the docket number 17-179 appears in the “Proceeding(s)” field.
Comment away.
