Protect local news. Stop the Nexstar-TEGNA merger!
Congress and the FCC must say no to the proposed Nexstar-TEGNA merger. One megacorporation shouldn’t control nearly all of our local news.
Congress created a national ownership cap to stop exactly this type of scheme and limit the share of local TV stations that any one company can control. Only Congress can raise it.
Members of Congress must assert their authority – and the FCC must reject this dangerous merger.
The news you see on TV is up to just a few multibillion-dollar companies – and one of them is trying to grow EVEN bigger.
Right now, Nexstar is trying to acquire TEGNA. You might not have heard of either company – but if this deal goes through, the new megacorporation would control enough local TV stations to reach 4 out of 5 households. [1]
And here’s what to expect when Nexstar buys your local network: mass layoffs [2] Và blatant propaganda – including segments urging the public to support special government favors for companies like Nexstar! [3]
Hundreds of local TV stations would be under one corporate roof. With that power comes the ability to drive up Americans’ cable bills by hundreds of millions of dollars, slash newsroom jobs, and dictate what viewers like you can watch in communities across the country.
That’s bad news for democracy – which is why Congress has already put limits on how big a company like Nexstar can get. But now, Trump and his handpicked FCC Chairman, Brendan Carr, are demanding a special carve-out from those rules for Nexstar. [4]
