Sinclair Broadcast Group wants to buy Chicago's WGN-TV outright as part of its latest effort to win the Federal Communications Commission's approval for its proposed acquisition of Tribune Media Co. In addition to buying WGN, Sinclair plans to put stations in Dallas and Houston into a divestiture trust to be operated by an independent third-party trustee. Sinclair had previously proposed selling the Texas stations to Cunningham Broadcasting Corp. and WGN to an entity called WGN-TV LLC.
