Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai said Monday that he has "serious concerns" about the proposed merger between Sinclair Broadcast Group and Tribune Media, a surprising move that could likely kill the controversial $3.9 billion deal.

In a statement, Pai questioned the company's plans to get the deal approved by selling off some television stations and said he would propose sending the deal to be reviewed by an administrative law judge.

This isn't dead dead yet, but an odd turn of events from a business friendly Pai.

Maybe they forgot to pay him?

Or he's just strong arming them for more cash. Given the way that the American government works, I think we can discount any motivations which aren't centered around corruption.
