A sale scheduled to close by the end of the year of WTVJ by NBC Universal to the Washington Post Co. has been called off, the Washington Business Journal reports. A joint statement cited the awful environment for financial deals and the fact that the Federal Communications Commission had not yet approved the sale. WTVJ is a Miami television station; the Post Co. owns the ABC affiliate in Miami, in addition to affiliates in Detroit, Houston, Jacksonville, Orlando, and San Antonio.
