It has now been more than a year since the parties announced the proposed merger-and nearly a year since DOJ issued its first CID. While l recognize the reviews undertaken by your agencies are rarely simple, I am also aware that DOJ has set a laudable goal of resolving merger reviews within six months. The length of this particular review has left uncertainty in the broadcast industry, particularly for those stations operating in the Sioux Falls Designated Market Area. I therefore ask that you complete your reviews expeditiously to provide much needed clarity for the broadcast industry and the affected stations in my home state. Thank you both for your attention and consideration of this matter. Sincerely,
