Show Notes
Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell fire off a tough letter to FCC Chair Brendan Carr over Nexstars $6.2 billion Tegna buyout. The merged company would run 259 full-power stations, hitting nearly 80% of American TV homes. DirecTV, states, and conservative groups challenge the merger on antitrust and competition grounds. Lawmakers demand Carr explain the limits on delegated power, as court fights and state reviews keep the blockbuster merger in limbo.
