Who filed the petition to deny and for what reason?  What is the effect of 
such a petition?sych

*Speaking of Saga, the company isn't following through on its plans to
buy four stations in upstate NEW YORK.  Last July, Ed Christian's
group announced a $13.2 million deal to enter the Ithaca market by
buying Eagle Broadcasting's cluster there (WHCU, WTKO, WYXL and
WQNY).  A petition to deny the transfer meant that the sale couldn't
close by this Wednesday, so Saga has now pulled out of the deal.
