Federal Judge Finds Nexstar Violated KTLA-TV Court Order
A federal judge sharply criticized Nexstar Media Group for violating a preliminary injunction tied to its $6.2 billion KTLA owner takeover of Tegna, citing nondisclosure and improper influence. The court ordered monthly compliance reports, appointed a special master, and required dissolving Tegna’s board, dominated by Nexstar officials. Plaintiff states warned the consolidation could shut local newsrooms in smaller markets.
