Sinclair Commends Removal of Artificial Limits on Local Broadcasters
BALTIMORE, Aug. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sinclair, Inc. President and CEO Chris Ripley issued the following statement in response to today’s Federal Communications Commission’s vote modernizing the long outdated national ownership restrictions.
“Today’s media landscape looks nothing like it did decades ago when the 39 percent limit was set by the FCC. Updating these rules to reflect dramatic changes across the media industry will set the stage for local broadcasters to begin to compete on a more level playing field. We applaud Commission leadership and the dedicated Commission staff for their work to modernize the rules and give broadcasters a fighting chance to preserve local news and continue to serve their local communities.”
