Transactions

• KKRP-LD 13.x (46) St. George UT and K43CC-D 13.x Santa Clara UT (KSTU License LLC), as part of a larger transaction involving parent station KSTU Salt Lake City, is being assigned from Tribune Media Company to the Sinclair Divestiture Trust. KSTU is being placed into the trust in order to remove it from the list of assets under Sinclair control if their acquisition of Tribune were to be approved. The intent would be to sell KSTU and its translators to a third party; however, the stations could come back under Sinclair control should the ownership cap be increased beyond the current 39% of TV homes nationwide.
