Eight state attorneys general have filed an antitrust lawsuit to block Nexstar’s pending acquisition of Tegna, which would strengthen the right-leaning Nexstar and shrink the number of station owners in the U.S.
The states, led by California Attorney General Rob Bonta, say the TV marketplace consolidation would hurt consumers.
The lawsuit is the latest instance of state attorneys general acting as a counterweight to President Donald Trump. Other states may join the coalition in the near future.
