A transaction of this magnitude demands open deliberation before the full Commission, not a quiet sign-off to avoid public scrutiny. Given the increasingly alarming pace of reckless media consolidation, the American public deserves to know how and why this decision was made.

NEWS: The FCC has approved the unlawful Nexstar-TEGNA merger behind closed doors. The consequences of this rubber stamp approval will be felt in living rooms and newsrooms across the country, resulting in fewer voices, less competition, and higher costs for consumers.

This merger was approved behind closed doors with no open process, no full Commission vote, and no transparency for the consumers and communities who will bear the consequences. The FCC has once again chosen bureaucratic cover over public accountability.

Nexstar has already begun cutting newsrooms throughout the country. As these billion-dollar companies grow even larger, their increased negotiating leverage will drive up fees that translate into higher monthly bills for those families who can least afford them.

STL, where I previously worked, has no ABC station with local news. The CW/FOX stations already merged. If this deal goes through, the CW/FOX (Nexstar) and NBC (Tegna) stations would merge, leaving CBS (Gray) as the only other station. All STL TV would be controlled by 2 groups.

The lawsuit says Nexstar’s acquisition of TEGNA would create a combined station with 57.2% of the share in Denver. “The Nexstar track record reveals that consumers and communities will have less choice in news… while prices for paid television content continue to rise.”

I worked in local news for more than 10 years, including at both Tegna and Nexstar stations. It's insane to me that potentially one company could control as much as, if not more than, 70% of the flow of information and news in a single community/market.

Many media and entertainment conglomerates are looking to consolidate more power and control over what we get to watch. While regulators in Washington are obeying their commands, state attorneys general are filing lawsuits to block illegal deals. x.com/i/status/20345…
Rob Bonta@AGRobBonta

The illegal merger between Nexstar and Tegna would create a broadcast TV behemoth covering 80% of households & raise cable prices around the country. That’s why we’re suing to stop this deal. California needs more voices, more competition, and more local journalism — not less. oag.ca.gov/news/press-rel…

Listen — I get why Jesse Buckley is cleaning house this season. Big emotional performance, snot running down the face, all the Oscar bait academy voters love. But it wasn’t for me. Rooting for a Rose Byrne or Kate Hudson longshot upset #oscar
