    Summary of the Hearing Designation Order

    1. On June 28, 2017, Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. (Sinclair) and Tribune Media Company (Tribune) filed applications seeking to transfer control of Tribune subsidiaries to Sinclair. Sinclair and Tribune have amended their applications several times thereafter, in an attempt to bring the transaction into compliance with the Commission's national television multiple ownership rule, as well as the public interest requirements of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the Act).

    2. Among these applications were three that, rather than transfer broadcast television licenses in Chicago, Dallas, and Houston directly to Sinclair, proposed to transfer these licenses to other entities. According to the proposals, Sinclair would divest WGN-TV, Chicago, Illinois, to WGN TV, LLC, a newly-created entity by Steve Fader, an individual with no broadcast experience, for a purchase price of approximately $60 million. Sinclair would also divest KDAF(TV), Dallas Texas, and KIAH(TV), Houston, Texas, to Cunningham Broadcast Corporation (Cunningham) for a combined purchase price of approximately $60 million. The Commission notes that the proposed transfer applications to Fader and Cunningham were withdrawn on July 18, 2018.

    3. Multiple formal pleadings have been filed opposing this latest divestiture plan. Most opponents challenge the divestitures as “shams” intended to circumvent the local and national television multiple ownership rules and find most egregious the proposed divestitures to Fader and Cunningham. Some parties question whether Sinclair will hold de facto control over WGN TV, LLC. Specifically, they question the reasonableness of the terms of the transaction, including a purchase price of only $60 million, and Sinclair's plans to enter into a Joint Sales Agreement (JSA), Shared Services Agreement (SSA), and Option with WGN TV, LLC at closing. The parties also question Fader's independence from Sinclair given that Fader and David Smith, currently a director and controlling shareholder of Sinclair and formerly its CEO, are business partners outside of the broadcast industry. Specifically, Fader is the CEO of Atlantic Automotive Group (Atlantic), in which David Smith has a controlling interest and serves as a member of its board of directors, and Atlantic is a Sinclair advertiser and tenant. Similarly, some parties argue that the sale of stations in Dallas and Houston to Cunningham are in name only and warrant a hearing. According to the objectors, problematic aspects of Start Printed Page 40765the proposed divestitures of the Texas stations include: The intertwined relationship between Sinclair and Cunningham, particularly in light of past Commission findings regarding the nature of the relationship; the recent acquisition of the voting shares of Cunningham by Michael Anderson, a Sinclair associate, for a $400,000 sales price that is far below market value; the fact that the children of Sinclair's controlling shareholders are beneficiaries of trusts controlling the non-voting shares of Cunningham with the parents holding options to buy the voting shares in the future; and Sinclair's apparent guarantee of $53.6 million of Cunningham's debt.

    4. Under section 309(d) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 309(d), “[i]f a substantial and material question of fact is presented or if the Commission for any reason is unable to find that grant of the application would be inconsistent [with the public interest, convenience, and necessity],” it must formally designate the application for hearing in accordance with section 309(e) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 309(e). Courts have stated that, in reviewing the record, the Commission must designate an application for hearing if “the totality of the evidence arouses a sufficient doubt” as to whether grant of the application would serve the public interest, Serafyn v. FCC, 149 F.3d 1213, 1216 (D.C. Cir. 1998) (quoting Citizens for Jazz on WRVR, Inc. v. FCC, 775 F.2d 392, 395 (D.C. Cir. 1985)). Section 310(d) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 310(d), prohibits the transfer of control of a license, either de jure or de facto, without prior Commission consent.

    5. Commission assignment and transfer applications require disclosure of and certifications from the “real party in interest” purchasing the stations at issue. The phrase “real party-in-interest” is used in connection with pending applications, while “de facto control” is used in connection with a licensed station, In re Brasher, Order to Show Cause, Hearing Designation Order and Notice of Opportunity for Hearing, 15 FCC Rcd 16326 (2000). The pertinent concern is whether someone other than the named applicant or licensee is or would be in control, s ee Arnold L. Chase, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 5 FCC Rcd 1642, 1648 n.5 (1990). As the Commission has explained, “a real party in interest issue, by its very nature, is a basic qualifying issue in which the element of deception is necessarily subsumed,” see In the Matter of Maritime Communications/Land Mobile, LLC, Order to Show Cause, Hearing Designation Order, and Notice of Opportunity for Hearing, 26 FCC Rcd 6520, 6534-6535 par. 36 (2011) (citing Fenwick Island Broadcast Corp. & Leonard P. Berger, Decision, 7 FCC Rcd 2978, 2979 (Rev. Bd. 1992) (citation omitted)). The test for determining whether an entity is a real-party-in-interest in an application is whether that entity “has an ownership interest or is or will be in a position to actually or potentially control the operation of the station and/or applicant,” High Sierra Broadcasting, Inc., Order, 96 FCC.2d 423, 435 (Rev. Bd. 1983). In the related context of determining de facto control of an applicant or a licensee, we have traditionally looked beyond legal title and financial interests to determine who holds operational control of the station and/or applicant, see WHDH, Inc., 17 FCC.2d 856, 863 (1969), aff'd sub nom., Greater Boston Television Corp. v. FCC, 444 F.2d 841 (D.C. Cir. 1970). In particular, the Commission examines the policies governing station programming, personnel, and finances. The Commission has long held that a licensee may delegate day-to-day operations without surrendering de facto control, so long as the licensee continues to set the policies governing these three indicia of control, WGPR, Inc., 10 FCC Rcd 8140, 8142 (1995); Choctaw Broadcasting Corp., 12 FCC Rcd 8534, 8539 (1997); Southwest Texas Broadcasting Council, 85 FCC.2d 713, 715 (1981).

    6. The Commission's rule-based attribution benchmarks, which are set forth in Note 2 to § 73.3555 of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 73.3555, note 2, and related precedent, have a different purpose in that they seek to identify those ownership interests that subject the holders to compliance with the multiple and cross-ownership rules because they confer a degree “of influence or control such that the holders have a realistic potential to affect the programming decisions of licensees or other core operating functions,” Review of The Commission's Regulations Governing Attribution of Broadcast and Cable/MDS Interests, Report and Order, 14 FCC Rcd 12559, 12560 (1999), subsequent hist. omitted (“1999 Attribution Order”). The national television multiple ownership rule prohibits a single entity from owning television stations that, in the aggregate, reach more than 39 percent of the total television households in the United States, see 47 CFR 73.3555(e)(1), (e)(2)(i), and (e)(2)(ii).

    7. Applying these principles to the transaction at issue, the Commission designates for hearing the applications in Attachment 1 because there exists a substantial and material question of fact as to whether Sinclair was the real party-in-interest to the WGN-TV, KDAF, and KIAH applications and if so, whether Sinclair engaged in misrepresentation and/or lack of candor in its applications with the Commission. Accordingly, based upon the record, the Commission is unable to find that grant of this transaction would be consistent with the public interest. Specifically, in view of the longstanding and intertwined relationships between and among Sinclair, Fader, and Cunningham, along with sales terms that are atypically favorable to the buyers (specifically, purchase price, financing, and contractual agreements), substantial and material questions of fact exist as to whether: (1) Sinclair was the real party in interest to the sale of WGN-TV, KDAF(TV), and KIAH(TV); (2) Sinclair engaged in misrepresentation and/or lack of candor in its applications with the Commission; and (3) whether consummation of the overall transaction would be in the public interest, including whether it would comply with § 73.3555 of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 73.3555.

    8. Accordingly, it is ordered, that, pursuant to sections 309(e) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 309(e), and section 1.254 of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 1.254, the above-captioned applications are designated for hearing to be held at a time and location specified in a subsequent Order by the Administrative Law Judge, upon the following questions: (a) Whether, in light of the issues presented above, Sinclair was the real party-in-interest to the WGN-TV, KDAF, and KIAH applications, and, if so, whether Sinclair engaged in misrepresentation and/or lack of candor in its applications with the Commission; (b) whether consummation of the overall transaction would violate § 73.3555 of the Commission's rules, the broadcast ownership rules; (c) whether, in light of the evidence adduced on the issues presented, grant of the above-captioned applications would serve the public interest, convenience, and/or necessity, as required by sections 309(a) and 310(d) of the Act; and (d) whether, in light of the evidence adduced on the issues presented, the above-captioned applications should be granted or denied.

    9. It is further ordered, that, pursuant to section 309(e) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 309(e), and § 1.254 of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 1.254, both the burden of proceeding with the introduction of evidence and the burden of proof with respect to issues specified above shall be upon Sinclair and Tribune. We are assigning the burdens in this manner because Sinclair and Tribune have the Start Printed Page 40766particular knowledge of the specific facts at issue in this proceeding.

    10. It is further ordered, that to avail themselves of the opportunity to be heard, Sinclair and Tribune pursuant to §§ 1.221(c) and 1.221(e) of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 1.221(c) and 1.221(e), in person or by their respective attorneys, shall file a written appearance, stating an intention to appear on the date fixed for the hearing and present evidence on the issues specified in the Order. Such written appearance shall be filed within 20 days of the mailing of this Order pursuant to Paragraph 17 below. Pursuant to § 1.221(c) of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 1.221(c), if the applicants fail to file an appearance within the specified time period, or have not filed prior to the expiration of that time a petition to dismiss without prejudice, or a petition to accept, for good cause shown, such written appearance beyond expiration of said 20 days, the assignment applications will be dismissed with prejudice for failure to prosecute.

    11. It is further ordered, that Dallas (KDAF-TV) Licensee (Cunningham), Houston (KIAH-TV) Licensee (Cunningham), and WGN TV, LLC (Fader) and the following petitioners to deny in Exhibit 1 are made parties to the proceeding pursuant to § 1.221(d) of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 1.221(d). To avail themselves of the opportunity to be heard, pursuant to § 1.221(e) of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 1.122(e), each of these parties, in person or by its attorneys, shall file a written appearance, stating its intention to appear on the date fixed for the hearing and present evidence on the issues specified in this Order. Such written appearance shall be filed within 20 days of the mailing of this Order pursuant to Paragraph 17 below. If any of these parties fails to file an appearance within the time specified, it shall, unless good cause for such failure is shown, forfeit its hearing rights.

    12. It is further ordered, that the Chief, Enforcement Bureau, shall be made a party to this proceeding without the need to file a written appearance.

    13. It is further ordered, that a copy of each document filed in this proceeding subsequent to the date of adoption of this document shall be served on the counsel of record appearing on behalf of the Chief, Enforcement Bureau. Parties may inquire as to the identity of such counsel by calling the Investigations & Hearings Division of the Enforcement Bureau at (202) 418-1420. Such service copy shall be addressed to the named counsel of record, Investigations & Hearings Division, Enforcement Bureau, Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street SW, Washington, DC 20554.

    14. It is further ordered, that Sinclair and Tribune, pursuant to section 311(a)(2) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. 311(a)(2), and Section 73.3594 of the Commission's rules, 47 CFR 73.3594, shall give notice of the hearing within the time and in the manner prescribed in such Rules, and shall advise the Commission of the publication of such notice as required by § 73.3594(g) of the Rules, 47 CFR 73.3594(g).

    15. It is further ordered, that a copy of this document, or a summary thereof, shall be published in the Federal Register.

    16. It is further ordered, that, within fifteen (15) days of the date that written appearances are due, the Administrative Law Judge shall issue a Scheduling Order that includes a set date for resolution.

    17. It is further ordered, that the Commission's Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau, Reference Information Center shall send a copy of this Order by certified mail/return receipt requested to:
