Nexstar Media Group buying Tegna in deal worth $6.2 billion
Nexstar Media Group is buying broadcast rival Tegna for $6.2 billion, which will help strengthen its local news offerings. The transaction, if approved, will bring together two major players in U.S. television and the country's local news landscape. Nexstar oversees more than 200 owned and partner stations in 116 markets nationwide today and also runs networks like The CW and NewsNation. Meanwhile, Tegna owns 64 news stations across 51 markets. 'The initiatives being pursued by the Trump administration offer local broadcasters the opportunity to expand reach, level the playing field, and compete more effectively with the Big Tech and legacy Big Media companies that have unchecked reach and vast financial resources,' Nexstar Chairman and CEO Perry Sook said in a statement on Tuesday. 'We believe Tegna represents the best option for Nexstar to act on this opportunity.' Nexstar said Tuesday that the deal will also help it give advertisers a bigger variety of local and national broadcast and digital advertising options. Nexstar will pay $22 in cash for each share of Tegna's outstanding stock. The deal could potentially help kick off even further consolidation in America's broadcast industry. Nexstar, founded in 1996, has itself grow substantially with acquisitions over the latest two decades, becoming the biggest operator of local TV stations in the U.S. after it purchased Tribune Media back in 2019. Nexstar's purchase of Tegna also arrives amid wider regulatory shifts. Brendan Carr, the Trump-appointed chairman the Federal Communications Commission, which will need to give the transaction the green light, has long advocated for loosening industry restrictions. On Aug. 7, the FCC announced that it would be repealing 98 broadcast rules and requirements that it identified as 'obsolete, outdated, or unnecessary.' Some of those rules date back nearly 50 years, the FCC said, and apply to 'old technology that is no longer used.' Carr maintained that such provisions no longer serve public interest. In late July, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit also vacated the FCC's 'top four' rule, which has long prohibited ownership of more than one of the top four stations in a single market. The ruling is still subject to a monthslong assessment by the FCC, but could significantly clear the way for future mergers in the industry. In company earnings calls held in early August, before Tegna and Nexstar publicly confirmed merger talks, both Tegna CEO Michael Steib and Nexstar's Sook pointed directly to this ruling, and applauded Carr's deregulation agenda as a whole. 'We believe that deregulation is necessary, important and coming,' Steib said in Tegna's Aug. 7 call, noting that local broadcasters are 'up against big tech competitors who have absolutely no encumbrances in how they compete.' Beyond their core broadcast TV businesses, both Nexstar and Tegna also boast digital news, mobile app and streaming offerings, all of which have played key roles for the industry as consumers change the way they consume news and other entertainment. Broadcast TV has been hit particularly hard by 'cord-cutting,' with more and more households trading their cable or satellite subscriptions into content they can get via the internet. The deal is expected to close by the second half of 2026. It still needs approval from Tegna shareholders. Shares of Nexstar jumped 7.6% in premarket trading, and Tegna's rose 4.3%.

Texas Rep. staying in House chamber after rejecting DPS monitoring
AUSTIN (Nexstar) — The Texas House is adjourned until Wednesday morning. But one State Rep. is staying in the chamber, staging a protest that's gaining attention. Before the House adjourned Monday, House Speaker Dustin Burrows, R-Lubbock, ordered the doors to the chamber to be locked. He said that members needed written permission to leave the chamber. But he added an extra step for Democrats who broke quorum and had arrest warrants issued. The Speaker said those members would be granted written permission to leave only after agreeing to be released into the custody of a designated Department of Public Safety officer who will ensure they return to the House on Wednesday at 10 a.m. State Rep. Nicole Collier, D-Fort Worth, refused and was not allowed to leave. 'I refuse to sign away my dignity as a duly elected representative just so Republicans can control my movements and monitor me with police escorts,' Collier stated in a news release. Texas Democrats highlighted her protest, sending out a news release stating that Collier was locked in the chamber, 'detained as political prisoner.' The Texas House Democratic Caucus set up a live stream of Collier remaining on the House floor and offered reporters live interviews with the representative. At one point, supporters gathered outside the chamber chanting, 'Let her go!' A social media post by the Texas House Democrats showed video a group of activists appearing to be arrested outside the House chamber. Other Texas Democrats have taken to social media, posting pictures and videos with Collier to show support. Late Monday, NBC News reporter Ryan Chandler reported that Collier had been told she can leave the House floor to go to her office, which is located in another part of the Capitol. She reportedly cannot leave the building without a DPS escort. Early into Collier's protest, the Texas House committee on redistricting voted out of committee a new version of a bill with proposed new congressional maps. The committee vote sets the stage for the full House to consider the redistricting legislation, where it is expected to pass. The maps are designed to boost Republican representation in the Texas congressional delegation. The push for the redistricting legislation comes after President Donald Trump called on Texas leaders to redraw voting lines to gain five Republican seats in Congress during the mid-term elections. State Rep. Todd Hunter, R-Corpus Christi, defended the plan to boost Republican representation. 'The U.S. Supreme Court … says that jurisdictions may engage in constitutional political gerrymandering, recognizing that politics and political considerations are inseparable from districting and apportionment,' Hunter said before Monday's committee vote. 2024 Election Coverage The maps will likely push out Congressman Marc Veasey, a Democrat who represents the area that includes much of Collier's state house district. Collier believes the maps will have a negative impact on her constituents. 'My community is majority-minority, and they expect me to stand up for their representation. When I press that button to vote, I know these maps will harm my constituents,' Collier stated in a news release. 'My constituents sent me to Austin to protect their voices and rights,' Collier added.

Nexstar agrees to buy Tegna for $6.2 billion, a massive consolidation of local TV stations
Nexstar, the biggest owner of US TV stations, is trying to get even bigger, believing the Trump administration will allow it to do so. On Tuesday, Nexstar announced a deal to acquire another broadcast station heavyweight, Tegna, in a $6.2 billion deal including debt. The deal will require government approval. Public interest groups say TV mega-mergers strangle competition and ultimately reduce the amount of local news coverage that viewers depend on. Investors tend to feel very differently. Shares in both companies rallied on the news Tuesday morning, and further consolidation is expected; the Wall Street Journal reported Monday night that Sinclair has also proposed a merger with Tegna. Broadcast industry analysts said all the deal talk is premised on pending action by the Federal Communications Commission to loosen the government's limits on broadcast station ownership. Currently, through a regulation known as the national television ownership rule, companies are capped at reaching 39 percent of all US TV households. Station owners say the cap must be raised so that they can survive in the digital age, and they believe FCC chair Brendan Carr, a top Trump ally, agrees. Carr recently called the station ownership caps 'arcane' and 'artificial' and opened an FCC proceeding to review the matter. Tellingly, Nexstar CEO Perry A. Sook began his statement about the Tegna deal by saying 'the initiatives being pursued by the Trump administration offer local broadcasters the opportunity to expand reach, level the playing field, and compete more effectively with the Big Tech and legacy Big Media companies that have unchecked reach and vast financial resources. We believe Tegna represents the best option for Nexstar to act on this opportunity.' Tegna CEO Mike Steib similarly talked about his beliefs on an earnings call last week. 'We believe deregulation is coming and will create significant opportunities,' he said. On Tuesday, Carr referred questions about the deal to an FCC spokesperson, who said, 'We look forward to reviewing the application when it is filed with the FCC and assessing the public interest equities.' Craig Aaron, CEO of the public interest group Free Press, said in a recent blog post that 'runaway consolidation' is 'bad for local communities.' 'Of course, the companies leading the charge for more consolidation see local news only as a vehicle for serving political ads and spreading right-wing propaganda,' he argued. 'For them, this is going as planned.'
