Opinion of Ajit Pai's favorite company. Sinclair owns Bally Sports RSNs for NBA/MLB/NHL and the college sports streaming network Stadium for Mountain West/C-USA/WCC.

My roommate, a business regulator in the New York State Department of State, had to turn down their late payment for some state document or another a few days ago. She says she thinks returning that check is the best thing she's ever done for the world in her current job. 'Nuff said!

HC, but these stories about the company's current executive chairman are both terrible and hilarious:


Quote
Smith began his career "selling pornographic videos in Baltimore's redlight district during the 1970s."[5] He founded Comark Communications in 1978.[6]

...

In an August 1996 prostitution sting, Smith was charged with committing an "unnatural and perverted sex act" (oral sex) in a Sinclair company vehicle. He was sentenced to community service, which was fulfilled by having Sinclair station WBFF produce reports on a local drug counseling program.[11][12]

Prior to Ajit Pai's appointment as chairman of the FCC, Smith had met with Pai to discuss deregulation of the FCC's media ownership rules. This meeting, plus Sinclair having been granted additional access to Donald Trump's presidential campaign, resulted in accusations that Sinclair was currying favor with the Trump administration in exchange for deregulation of the industry.[13][14][15]

I suppose he's from the Stormy Daniels wing of the Trumpist movement.
