C’est ce qui arrive quand une compagnie possède des douzaines de stations de nouvelles locales.
Sinclair Broadcast Group est le plus grand propriétaire de stations de télévision aux États-Unis, possédant ou exploitant actuellement un total de 173 stations à travers le pays dans près de 80 marchés, allant de marchés aussi grands que Washington, D.C. à des marchés aussi petits que Steubenville, Ohio.
Sinclair envoie régulièrement des segments vidéo aux stations qu’elle possède. C’est ce qu’on appelle les « must-runs ».
According to the New York Times:
Sinclair regularly sends video segments to the stations it owns. These are referred to as “must-runs,” and they can include content like terrorism news updates, commentators speaking in support of President Trump or speeches from company executives like the one from Mr. Livingston last year.
Sinclair has been accused of using connections in the Trump administration to ease regulations on media consolidation. In an effort to expand its reach, the company is seeking approval from the Justice Department and the Federal Communications Commission for a $3.9 billion deal to buy Tribune Media.
