Public Knowledge

Another shot at the proposed Sinclair-Tribune merger has been fired, this time by the public interest group Public Knowledge.

In comments filed with the FCC recently, Public Knowledge, a DC-based advocacy group, warned the commission that, while the next-gen ATSC 3.0 standard offers new opportunities to efficiently deliver new services as well as continue to provide free television broadcasts to the public, the commission should continue to enforce the broadcast industry’s public interest obligations.
