SincelairOne of the largest owners of broadcasting stations in the United States is launching a strategic examination of its dissemination activity that could lead to a merger, CNBC learned.
The company and its advisers have already had in -depth discussions with potential merger partners, according to people close to the question that could not speak publicly due to the sensitive nature of talks.
At the same time, Sinclair also seeks to turn or divide its Ventures activity, which includes the TV network paying the tennis canal. The company has already received the approval of the Board of Directors to explore its options.
Although Sinclair had important discussions with potential merger partners, there is no assurance that an agreement or a fallout will occur.
This decision comes as the media industry expects deregulation under the Trump administration, in particular in the distribution space, which could inaugurate mergers and wing acquisitions.
