WASHINGTON—The Federal Communications Commission’s Media Bureau has approved the transfer of WLFI-TV, Lafayette, Indiana; WTHI-TV, Terre Haute, Indiana; and WTVA(TV), Tupelo, Mississippi from subsidiaries of Allen Media to Gray Media.
DirecTV, Georgia Cable Association, Illinois Broadband & Cable Association, Indiana Cable and Broadband Association, Tennessee Cable & Broadband Association, Asian Americans Advancing Justice and others have filed papers with the FCC regarding the license transfer of the stations.
On March 23, the Media Bureau issued a letter granting the transfer of three stations. “Based on our own review of the Applications and the record in this matter, we find that the Applications fully comply with the Commission’s rules,” it noted. “In addition, we have not identified any other issues or potential public interest harms that would require further consideration. We therefore conclude that grant of the Applications would serve the public interest.”
