Description

A federal judge halted the $6.2B Nexstar-Tegna merger with a 14-day restraining order after DirecTV and eight AGs challenged the deal on antitrust grounds. The combined company would have reached 60% of U.S. households after the FCC waived its 39% ownership cap, creating the largest local TV operator in the country.
