    Regulatory controversy over the Malara operating structure

    The sale of WPTA's license to Malara Broadcast Group, combined with Granite's continuing operational role and joint securities reporting, prompted allegations that Malara was being used as a shell company to work around FCC limits on local television ownership. The arrangement was part of a wider debate over effective control and duopoly rules in the small Fort Wayne market.
