A federal court halts Nexstars $6.2 billion buyout of TEGNA, citing antitrust concerns. DIRECTV argues the merger would hurt competition and hike fees. Nexstar would control 260 stations, surpassing major networks. The judge agrees, citing skyrocketing retransmission fees and potential job cuts. Multiple lawsuits and criticism from Senator Ted Cruz threaten the deal, potentially reshaping TV viewing.
