Nexstar Tells Judge Aspects Of Tegna Merger "Cannot Be Reversed" A judge paused Nexstar's merger with Tegna last week.

The "unscrambling the eggs" defense just DIED. A judge just blocked the Nexstar/Tegna merger AFTER they integrated, calling Nexstar’s claim that it "can't be reversed" complete nonsense. This is a nightmare scenario for the Paramount/WBD deal. #Antitrust #Nexstar #Tegna
