Right now there is a TRO to prevent any more immediate moves, and, a hearing coming up. Hopefully someone was appointed to monitor Nexstar to be sure they are in compliance and made no further consolidation, network moves etc with the TRO. When all is said and done it will depend on the final court ruling and subsequent appeals. Hopefully the TRO continues through the process. The final ruling may prevent Nexstar from selling any former Tegna stations to related entities like Mission or other side cars. That gets to the point of the issue and caps, and, was a voiced concern from the previous FCC (although directed at WPIX's license). Whether the court cases are successful is another matter.

Like we are seeing with other cases, many federal judges are impatient when it comes to unethical legal maneuvers. Hopefully this will be the case as well. Especially with the fix being in so blatantly between the administration and Nexstar, rules and protocol be damned.

Divestitures won’t happen until Nexstar knows the final outcome of this deal. Why would they sell Nexstar owned stations now if the deal is later blocked on antitrust grounds? That’s like selling your house before you know you are going to get a new house. And they can’t sell Tegna owned stations because they technically don’t own them at the moment. So everything will be status quo until the state of limbo is resolved.

Can you imagine if (The company unit formerly known as Tegna operated by Nexstar) totally dumps the WNEP Music?

Read the filing page 18, he was allegedly at an illegal gambling arcade. Screenshot from a Facebook message from Someone working at the casino messaged to tell him to stop coming every night because it looks like he has gambling addiction and people are noticing. WINK having a stick up about the festive icons in the weather graphics is so funny. They tolerated his tardiness, complaints from staff having to pick up after him, for 2+ years but the festive weather icons mucking up the vibe of the graphs package broke them. Not the sketchy intern he brought in without telling anyone, who worked for 100 hours without pay All he had to do was not post on FB acting like he was shocked at being fired, even though he literally signed a paper acknowledging if his antics continued they might terminate him. $10k down the drain to respond to this

Any remedy to this deal may result in a Nexstar footprint that may be different as it was before they acquired the Tegna stations, basically giving them the right to divest stations and hang onto different ones. Case in point, Denver. Let's say they're either forced to divest KUSA or KDVR. They hang onto KUSA to pair with KWGN, and let's say Fox buys back KDVR and gets KTVD. It's a win-win since KUSA gets KWGN to expand to, and KDVR and KTVD can be a Fox/Fox+ combo like in other places they have a duopoly. I'll leave the rest to the speculatron as Nexstar may be forced to make choices between their top stations.

The package has reached Scripps News.

He Used company time, tried poaching employees while actively employed - meaning those he approached reported him to HR WINK will have to sign away their rights to whatever he was building. if he really did sign an acknowledgement letter, his agent/lawyer cleared it, anyone partaking with equity in the venture is fully exposed to litigation and more than likely doesn't own what they invested in And he keeps talking, after WINK took his Facebook page
