Nexstar's Sook Argues For Keeping JSAs

If the Federal Communications Commission approves the Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger, logic dictates that the commission should not impose more onerous rules for broadcast joint sales agreements and shared service agreements (JSAs and SSAs), according to Nexstar CEO Perry Sook. The Comcast-TWC deal would combine the two largest cable companies. If the FCC allows that, then what's the problem with sharing agreements including JSAs and SSAs that enable broadcasters to own multiple stations in a single market, Sook wonders.
