A federal judge in Sacramento issued an injunction on Friday that temporarily prevented the television giant Nexstar from combining its operations with the station group TEGNA, the latest skirmish in a legal war for local airwaves.
Troy L. Nunley, a judge in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, said in his ruling that Nexstar, another station owner, would have to take steps to remain separate from TEGNA pending further court proceedings.
“Nexstar must permit Tegna to continue operating as a separate and distinct, independently managed business unit from Nexstar, and Nexstar must put measures in place to maintain Tegna as an ongoing, economically viable, and active competitor,” Judge Nunley wrote.
