Trump FCC lets Nexstar buy Tegna and blow way past 39% TV ownership cap - Ars Technica
Overview
An FCC decision allowed Nexstar to acquire Tegna and exceed the 39% national television ownership cap, advancing the $6.2 billion deal and prompting lawsuits from several state attorneys general; a federal judge has since paused the merger pending antitrust claims. The same FCC is now preparing to challenge ABC's station licenses amid the Kimmel controversy, deepening scrutiny of whether recent regulatory approvals reflect political alignment rather than neutral enforcement.
