In essence, it is a sort of <a href="/wiki/Lease" title="Lease">lease</a> or <a href="/wiki/Time-buy" class="mw-redirect" title="Time-buy">time-buy</a>. Under <a href="/wiki/Federal_Communications_Commission" title="Federal Communications Commission">Federal Communications Commission</a> (FCC) regulations, a local marketing agreement must give the company operating the station (the "senior" partner) under the agreement control over the entire facilities of the station, including the finances, personnel and programming of the station. Its original <a href="/wiki/License" title="License">licensee</a> (the "junior" partner) still remains legally responsible for the station and its operations, such as compliance with relevant regulations regarding content. Occasionally, a "local marketing agreement" may refer to the sharing or contracting of only certain functions, in particular advertising sales. This may also be referred to as a time brokerage agreement (TBA), local sales agreement (LSA), management services agreement (MSA), or most commonly, a joint sales agreement (JSA) or shared services agreement (SSA). JSAs are counted toward ownership caps for television and radio stations.<a href="#cite_note-radioink-jsaradio-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-TVNC-kibosh-2">[2]</a> In Canada, local marketing agreements between domestic stations require the consent of the <a href="/wiki/Canadian_Radio-television_and_Telecommunications_Commission" title="Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission">Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission</a> (CRTC), although <a href="/wiki/Rogers_Media" class="mw-redirect" title="Rogers Media">Rogers Media</a> has used a similar arrangement to control a U.S.-based radio station in a border <a href="/wiki/Media_market" title="Media market">market</a>. The increased use of sharing agreements by media companies to form <a href="/wiki/Media_consolidation" class="mw-redirect" title="Media consolidation">consolidated</a>, "virtual" <a href="/wiki/Duopoly_(broadcasting)" title="Duopoly (broadcasting)">duopolies</a> became controversial between 2009 and 2014, especially arrangements where a company buys a television station's facilities and assets, but sells the license to an affiliated third-party "shell" corporation, who then enters into agreements with the owner of the facilities to operate the station on their behalf. Activists have argued that broadcasters were using these agreements as a <a href="/wiki/Loophole" title="Loophole">loophole</a> for the FCC's ownership regulations, that they reduce the number of local media outlets in a <a href="/wiki/Media_market" title="Media market">market</a> through the aggregation or outright consolidation of news programming, and allow station owners to have increased leverage in the negotiation of <a href="/wiki/Retransmission_consent" title="Retransmission consent">retransmission consent</a> with local <a href="/wiki/Multichannel_video_programming_distributor" class="mw-redirect" title="Multichannel video programming distributor">subscription television providers</a>. Station owners have contended that these sharing agreements allow streamlined, cost-effective operations that may be beneficial to the continued operation of lower-rated and/or financially weaker stations, especially in smaller markets.<a href="#cite_note-tvnc-jointretrans-3">[3]</a> In 2014 under chairman <a href="/wiki/Tom_Wheeler_(FCC)" class="mw-redirect" title="Tom Wheeler (FCC)">Tom Wheeler</a>, the FCC began to increase its scrutiny regarding the use of such agreements—particularly joint sales—to evade its policies. On March 31, 2014, the commission voted to make joint sales agreements count as ownership if the senior partner sells 15% or more of advertising time for its partner, and to ban coordinated retransmission consent negotiations between two of the top four stations in a market. Wheeler indicated that he planned to address local marketing and shared services agreements in the future. The change in stance also prompted changes to then-proposed acquisitions by <a href="/wiki/Nexstar_Media_Group" title="Nexstar Media Group">Nexstar Media Group</a> and <a href="/wiki/Sinclair_Broadcast_Group" title="Sinclair Broadcast Group">Sinclair Broadcast Group</a>, who, rather than use sharing agreements to control them, moved their existing programming and network affiliations to <a href="/wiki/Digital_subchannel" title="Digital subchannel">digital subchannels</a> of existing company-owned stations in the market, or a <a href="/wiki/Low-power_broadcasting" title="Low-power broadcasting">low-power station</a> (which are not subject to ownership caps), and then relinquished control over the original stations by selling their licenses to third-parties, such as minority-owned broadcasters. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History_and_background">History and background</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Local_marketing_agreement&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History and background">edit</a>]</div> Due to the FCC's limits on station ownership at the time (which prevented the common ownership of multiple radio stations), local marketing agreements in radio, in which a smaller station would sell its entire airtime to a third-party in time-buy, were widespread between the 1970s and early 1990s.<a href="#cite_note-concise-encyclopedia-4">[4]</a> These alliances gave larger broadcasters a way to expand their reach, and smaller broadcasters a means of obtaining a stable stream of revenue.<a href="#cite_note-concise-encyclopedia-4">[4]</a> In 1992, the FCC began allowing broadcasting companies to own multiple radio stations in a single market. Following these changes, local marketing agreements largely fell out of favor for radio, as it was now possible for broadcasters to simply buy another station outright rather than lease it – consequentially triggering a wave of mass consolidation in the radio industry.<a href="#cite_note-concise-encyclopedia-4">[4]</a> However, broadcasters still used local marketing agreements to help transition acquired stations to their new owners.<a href="#cite_note-concise-encyclopedia-4">[4]</a> The first local marketing agreement in <a href="/wiki/North_America" title="North America">North American</a> television was formed in 1991, when the Sinclair Broadcast Group purchased <a href="/wiki/Fox_Broadcasting_Company" title="Fox Broadcasting Company">Fox</a> affiliate <a href="/wiki/WPGH-TV" title="WPGH-TV">WPGH-TV</a> in <a href="/wiki/Pittsburgh" title="Pittsburgh">Pittsburgh</a>, Pennsylvania. As Sinclair had already owned <a href="/wiki/Independent_station_(North_America)" class="mw-redirect" title="Independent station (North America)">independent station</a> WPTT (now <a href="/wiki/MyNetworkTV" title="MyNetworkTV">MyNetworkTV</a> affiliate <a href="/wiki/WPNT" title="WPNT">WPNT</a>) in that market, which would have violated FCC rules which at the time had prohibited television station duopolies, Sinclair decided to sell the lower-rated WPTT to the station's manager Eddie Edwards, but continued to operate the station through an LMA (Sinclair eventually repurchased the station – then assigned the call letters WCWB – outright in 2000, after the Federal Communications Commission began permitting common ownership of two television stations in the same market, creating a legal duopoly).<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> Sinclair's use of local marketing agreements would lead to legal issues in 1999, when Glencairn, Ltd. (since restructured as <a href="/wiki/Cunningham_Broadcasting" title="Cunningham Broadcasting">Cunningham Broadcasting</a>) announced that it would acquire Fox affiliate <a href="/wiki/KOKH-TV" title="KOKH-TV">KOKH-TV</a> in <a href="/wiki/Oklahoma_City" title="Oklahoma City">Oklahoma City</a>, <a href="/wiki/Oklahoma" title="Oklahoma">Oklahoma</a> from Sullivan Broadcasting; Glencairn subsequently announced plans to sell five of its 11 existing stations that were operated by Sinclair under LMAs to that company outright. As the family of Sinclair Broadcast Group founder Julian Smith controlled 97% of Glencairn's stock assets (which remains the case under its Cunningham structure) and the company was to be paid with Sinclair stock in turn for the purchases, KOKH and Sinclair-owned <a href="/wiki/The_WB" title="The WB">WB</a> affiliate <a href="/wiki/KOCB" title="KOCB">KOCB</a> would effectively constitute a <a href="/wiki/Duopoly_(broadcasting)" title="Duopoly (broadcasting)">duopoly</a> in violation of FCC rules. The <a href="/wiki/Rainbow/PUSH" title="Rainbow/PUSH">Rainbow/PUSH</a> coalition (headed by <a href="/wiki/Jesse_Jackson" title="Jesse Jackson">Jesse Jackson</a>) filed challenges against the sale with the FCC, citing concerns over a single company holding two broadcast licenses in a single market and argued that Glencairn was masquerading as a separate minority-owned company (Edwards, who served as Glencairn's president, is <a href="/wiki/African_American" class="mw-redirect" title="African American">African American</a>) when it was really an arm of Sinclair that the company used to gain control of the stations through LMAs.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> After the FCC updated its media ownership rules to allow a single company to own two television stations in the same market in August 1999, Sinclair restructured the deal to acquire KOKH outright. In 2001, the FCC issued a $40,000 fine against Sinclair for illegally controlling Glencairn.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> In 1999, the FCC modified its media ownership rules to count LMAs formed after November 5, 1996 that cover more than 15% of the broadcast day toward the ownership limits for the brokering station's owner.<a href="#cite_note-fcc-sinclairallbrittonlmas-9">[9]</a> Even still, the related joint sales and shared services agreement structures became increasingly common during the 2000s; these outsourcing agreements proliferated between 2011 and 2013, when station owners such as Sinclair and the <a href="/wiki/Nexstar_Media_Group" title="Nexstar Media Group">Nexstar Broadcasting Group</a> began expanding their portfolios by acquiring additional stations in an effort to drive <a href="/wiki/Sliding_scale_fees" title="Sliding scale fees">scale</a> as well as to gain leverage in retransmission consent negotiations with <a href="/wiki/Cable_television" title="Cable television">cable</a> and <a href="/wiki/Satellite_television" title="Satellite television">satellite television</a> providers. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Uses">Uses</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Local_marketing_agreement&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Uses">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Consolidation">Consolidation</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Local_marketing_agreement&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Consolidation">edit</a>]</div> The most common use of an LMA in television broadcasting is to create a "virtual duopoly", where the stations operated under the agreement are consolidated into a single entity. The operations of the stations can be streamlined for cost-effectiveness through the sharing of resources, such as facilities, advertising sales, personnel and programming.<a href="#cite_note-tvnc-fire-10">[10]</a> Many broadcasters that engage in the practice believe that such agreements are beneficial to the survival of television stations – especially in smaller markets, where the overall audience reach is considerably less than that of markets that are centered upon densely populated <a href="/wiki/Metropolitan_area" title="Metropolitan area">metropolitan areas</a>, and the cost savings achieved through the consolidation of resources and staff may be necessary to fund a station's continued operation.<a href="#cite_note-tvnc-fire-10">[10]</a><a href="#cite_note-nyt-change-11">[11]</a> Sharing agreements may also be used as a loophole to control television stations in situations where it is legally impossible to own them outright. For instance, FCC regulations only allowed a single company to own more than one full-powered television station in a given market if there are at least eight distinct station owners, and also prohibits the ownership of two or more of the four highest-rated stations (based on total day viewership) in a market. An LMA or similar agreement does not affect the ownership of the station's license, meaning that they do not require the approval of the FCC to establish, and the two stations are still legally considered separate operations from a licensing standpoint.<a href="#cite_note-nyt-change-11">[11]</a> Both <a href="/wiki/Tribune_Media" title="Tribune Media">Tribune Media</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Gannett" title="Gannett">Gannett Company</a> were required to use shared services agreements as a similar loophole to take control of certain stations in their respective 2013 purchases of <a href="/wiki/Local_TV_LLC" title="Local TV LLC">Local TV</a> and <a href="/wiki/Belo_Corporation" title="Belo Corporation">Belo</a>, as they did not have exemptions to the FCC's <a href="/wiki/Media_cross-ownership_in_the_United_States" title="Media cross-ownership in the United States">newspaper cross-ownership restrictions</a> in the affected markets.<a href="#cite_note-adweek-gannett-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-dp-saletotribune-13">[13]</a> Both companies have since spun out their publishing arms as independent companies; the <a href="/wiki/Tribune_Publishing_Company" class="mw-redirect" title="Tribune Publishing Company">Tribune Publishing Company</a> and Gannett Company. <a href="/wiki/Tegna_Inc." title="Tegna Inc.">Tegna</a>, who holds the former Gannett's broadcasting and digital media properties, re-acquired the licenses for most of the affected stations following the split.<a href="#cite_note-fcc-saletotegnacomplete-14">[14]</a><a href="#cite_note-usat-tegna-15">[15]</a> On November 16, 2017, under the <a href="/wiki/First_presidency_of_Donald_Trump" title="First presidency of Donald Trump">Trump administration</a>, the FCC voted in favor of removing the requirement for a market to still have eight distinct station owners in order to allow duopolies, but the prohibition of owning two of the top four stations in a market remains.<a href="#cite_note-bc-deregulate-16">[16]</a> Broadcasters could also collect carriage fees for the stations they operate under sharing agreements on behalf of their owner, often bundling its carriage agreements with those of stations they own outright. This could, especially in LMAs between two stations affiliated with the "major" networks, allow the broadcaster to charge higher fees for <a href="/wiki/Retransmission_consent" title="Retransmission consent">retransmission consent</a> to television providers for carrying the stations, which could result in smaller cable companies not being able to afford the higher fees imposed. Cable television providers advocated barring sharing agreements between television stations for this particular reason. In the United States, the FCC no longer allows broadcasters to collude with one another in negotiating retransmission consent fees.<a href="#cite_note-tvnc-jointretrans-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-tvnc-fire-10">[10]</a><a href="#cite_note-nyt-change-11">[11]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Operation_on_behalf_of_a_third-party_owner">Operation on behalf of a third-party owner</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Local_marketing_agreement&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Operation on behalf of a third-party owner">edit</a>]</div> Although the majority of LMAs involve the outsourcing of one television station's operations to another, occasionally, a company may operate a station under an LMA, JSA or SSA even if it does not already own a station in that market.

In Birmingham, the company proposed surrendering the licenses of WCFT-TV and WJSU-TV – the two full-powered <a href="/wiki/Broadcast_relay_station#satellite_stations" title="Broadcast relay station">satellites</a> of ABC affiliate WBMA-LD, converting WABM into a full-powered satellite of WBMA-LD – and moving its existing MyNetworkTV programming to a digital subchannel of WABM (although the WBMA-LD simulcast was placed on WABM's subchannel instead while MyNetworkTV programming was retained on its main channel). Similarly, in Charleston, Sinclair planned to surrender WCIV's license and move its ABC affiliation and programming to WMMP.

Unlike Sinclair, however, Gray stated that it would sell the licenses of the shuttered stations to minority-owned broadcasters in collaboration with the Minority Media and Telecommunications Council – under the condition that they would operate them independently from other stations in the market, and without the use of any sharing agreements. All six of the stations were owned by companies other than Gray, but their non-license assets are either owned by Gray, or were operated by stations now owned by Gray under agreements.
