Sinclair has filed a petition for review of the FCC’s incentive auction order, in documents filed Monday in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Sinclair’s court challenge joins one filed last month by NAB (CED Sept 10 p5) and numerous petitions for reconsideration of the order filed this week at the FCC. The auction order was adopted “in excess” of FCC authority and violates the Spectrum Act and the Administrative Procedure Act, Sinclair said. The court should hold the order unlawful or enjoin it, Sinclair said. The commission declined to comment.
