Sinclair continued to urge the FCC to reject Buckeye Cablevision’s complaint that the broadcaster didn’t demonstrate good faith in retransmission consent negotiations with the cable company. Sinclair is willing to continue to negotiate “if Buckeye would provide a realistic offer, that does not involve a failing station, and not continue to basically make the same below-market offer repeatedly,” Sinclair said in a filing posted Friday to docket 14-33 (http://bit.ly/1fF5LMs). Last month, the companies hit an impasse on carriage of WNWO-TV Toledo, Ohio (CD Feb 21 p20). The FCC shouldn’t impose sanctions on Sinclair, said that company now. “It would be both inappropriate and without legal foundation for the FCC to bail Buckeye out."
