The FCC did block the Sinclair takeover of Tribune. They may have that Republican majority, but they still don’t like people totally breaking their rules. Oddly, the Twit-in-Chief took to social media to blast his own appointees, but they didn’t change their decision. That said, the FCC shouldn’t have a role in a deal that doesn’t involve OTA stations. Say what you will about Sinclair, but a stronger Stadium brand is likely good for sports competition.
