FCC Chairman Ajit Pai is expected to take another stab at loosening media ownership rules, a move that could help pave the way for a merger of the Sinclair Media Group and Tribune Media.

Pai is expected to hold a vote July 12 to alter the limits on how many TV stations a company can own, according to a Thursday report from Bloomberg, which cited unnamed sources. Currently, broadcasters are capped at a national audience reach of 39 percent. It's unclear what the suggested new cap would be.
