Nexstar says no Kimmel.
Not a big surprise since Nexstar/Tegna merger/buyout will require FCC to change their station ownership regulations. Thus Nexstar is more than willing to comply with Brendan Carr's threats, uh, suggestions.
The FCC's 39% rule is a regulation that limits a single entity from owning TV stations that collectively reach more than 39% of U.S. television households, aiming to prevent media dominance.
If the Nexstar/Tegna deal is completed, the combined company will have a total of 265 television stations in 44 states and the District of Columbia, representing 80% of U.S. television households.
