The Associated Press reports that the Federal Communications Commission will vote in November on proposals to roll back ownership rules, allowing the Sinclair Broadcast Group to buy Tribune Media, and exceed the current limits on number of stations owned by one company. The ultra-conservative Sinclair company would then reach more than 70 percent of all American households. “We need to strengthen local voices and increase viewpoint diversity, not surrender our airwaves to an ever-smaller group of giant conglomerates,” said Craig Aaron of the public advocacy group Free Press. Sinclair owns WRGB and WCWN, the CBS and CW affiliates in Albany, often airing opinion segments from former Trump administration officials, and other conservative commentators during the local news. Now Bill O'Reilly, the former Fox News anchor who has been accused of multiple incidents of sexual harassment, is negotiating with Sinclair, two sources told NBC News. Last week, The New York Times reported that O’Reilly settled a $32 million sexual harassment suit against him by a former legal analyst, Lis Wiehl. A spokesperson for Sinclair denied that the company was negotiating with O'Reilly, but we'll see if he comes to the Albany airwaves soon.
