美国8个州和DIRECTV已经起诉阻止Nexstar媒体集团收购TEGNA, 价值62亿美元. 他们认为合并将违反反断法, 将广播媒体所有权集中起来,减少竞争, 并伤害消费者. Eight U.S. states and DIRECTV have sued to block Nexstar Media Group’s $6.2 billion acquisition of TEGNA, arguing the merger would violate antitrust laws by concentrating broadcast media ownership, reducing competition, and harming consumers. 美国各州声称这项协议将增加付费电视价格,削弱当地新闻和减少媒体多样性,特别是在像城,亚特兰大和水牛这样的主要市场, Nexstar 和 TEGNA已经在这些地区运营竞争站. The states claim the deal would increase pay-TV prices, weaken local news, and diminish media diversity, particularly in major markets like Phoenix, Atlanta, and Buffalo, where Nexstar and TEGNA already operate competing stations. 合并后的实体将覆盖80%美国家庭,远远超过FCC39%的所有权上限,需要进行监管变化. The combined entity would reach 80% of U.S. households, far exceeding the FCC’s 39% ownership cap, requiring a regulatory change. 虽然联邦通信委员会主席布伦丹·卡尔和前总统唐纳德特朗普支持合并, 但诉讼旨在阻止它, While FCC Chair Brendan Carr and former President Donald Trump support the merger, the lawsuit seeks to halt it, citing risks to local journalism and consumer choice. 案件正在联邦法院审理. The case is pending in federal court.
