Nexstar Accused of Violating Injunction by Appointing Tegna Board The latest development in the antitrust saga between Nexstar and Tegna is a stark reminder of the perils of media consolidation.
A federal court had ordered the two TV station groups to maintain independent operations pending the outcome of an antitrust trial, but Nexstar has been accused of violating that injunction by appointing its own executives to serve on Tegna's board.
This move raises serious questions about Nexstar's commitment to preserving Tegna's autonomy.
