Implications of Nexstar and Sinclair Capitulation on Media Policy

Nexstar and Sinclair both capitulated to ABC in that they agreed to run the Kimmel show without ABC or Kimmel apologizing or in other ways acceding to demands that Sinclair had made. In this note, we summarize the key lessons for investors from the last week as we head into a historic shift in broadcast ownership, a shift whose implications will filter throughout the media ecosystem.

Shortly thereafter, ABC announced that it was suspending Kimmel “indefinitely,” and Trump also suggested license revocation was justified. In this note, we review the issues involved with and probabilities of the FCC successfully revoking ABC licenses or otherwise taking further action against ABC.
