DMA 22 (PORTLAND, OR)
Sinclair Ore. Stations Sued Over Overtime
A former Portland television news reporter is seeking class action status for a federal lawsuit that accuses the Sinclair Broadcasting Group of failing to pay overtime to news reporters at its Oregon television stations. The stations formerly were owned by Fisher Communications but were acquired by Sinclair in a $373 million deal announced in April. The suit also names Fisher as a defendant.
