Update: 2025-11-17
Description
Sinclair Incorporated, a television station owner, has acquired a stake in E.W. Scripps, signaling expansion plans. Despite Sinclairs interest in a merger, Scripps has expressed no interest. Sinclair, with 185 stations, seeks greater scale to compete with tech and media giants. The FCC chairmans deregulation stance has led to a wave of deals among broadcasters facing challenges like declining revenue and audiences. Sinclair aims to reach a definitive agreement with Scripps within nine to twelve months, while Scripps vows to protect its shareholders from Sinclairs actions.
