WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Communications Commission has the three votes needed to approve a draft order sending Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc's (SBGI.O) proposed $3.9 billion acquisition of Tribune Media Co (TRCO.N) to an administrative hearing, an official said on Monday.

FCC Chairman Ajit Pai said on Monday he has "serious concerns" about the planned deal.
