  1. This is a complete reversal of the FCC decisions in the 70’s. WRTV was an NBC affiliate. WFBM TV WFBM Radio 1260 and WFBM FM . It’s bad enough that 59 and 4 are literally under the same roof, let alone this. I find it interesting that Sinclair has been thwarted multiple times in this market, including this one. The ‘logic’ reeks of undue influence. 💰
