Rainbow PUSH Seeks Allbritton Sale Review

The Rainbow PUSH Coalition has asked the Federal Communications Commission to review its July decision approving Sinclair Broadcast Group's $985 million purchase of eight ABC affiliates in seven markets from Allbritton Communications.

Rainbow PUSH said the FCC’s Media Bureau erred in rejecting a coalition request that an FCC hearing be held to look into allegations that Sinclair’s use of sidecar companies flouted FCC station ownership limits.
