Nexstar's $6.2 billion acquisition of rival TV station group owner Tegna is on hold after a federal judge ruled that the proposed merger "is presumed likely to violate antitrust laws based on the combined firm market share alone."
Judge pauses blockbuster #merger of TV station owners #Nexstar & #Tegna:
#DirecTV challenged it on #antitrust grounds~
Eight attorneys general also "filed a separate lawsuit on similar legal grounds."
The #Trump admin had given the mega merger a green light, waiving a rule "barring any single company from owning television stations that reach more than 39% of #US households.
"The combined entity would cover at least 60%." 👀

FCC approves the merger of local television giants Nexstar and Tegna, the same day that two lawsuits trying to block the deal were announced.
The $6.2B deal will create a company that owns 265 television stations in 44 states and the District of Columbia, most of them local affiliates of ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC.
The Lawsuit argues the merger has run afoul of federal laws designed to protect against monopolies, and was filed in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, New York, North Carolina, Oregon and Virginia. https://apnews.com/article/nextstar-tegna-television-regulation-lawsuit-a6fa29ed77fec7fbd4461a4988dd6730 #TV #Cable #Television #Nexstar #Tegna #FCC #Media #Lawsuit #MediaMerger #AntiTrust #ABC #CBS #NBC #FOX #DirecTV #CableTV #Monopolies
