Nexstar, the largest TV station operator in the country, will pay $22 a share for its smaller rival.

By Nicholas G. Miller Nexstar agreed to acquire its rival Tegna in a cash transaction worth $22 a share, or $6.2 billion total, in a litmus test of regulators' appetite for consolidation in the TV industry. The news comes after The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that TV station owner Sinclair was also seeking a merger with Tegna. The Journal reported earlier this month that Nexstar was in advanced talks to buy Tegna. The purchase price is a 31% premium to Tegna's 30-day average stock price ending August 8. Operators of local TV stations, facing slipping revenue amid a decline in TV subscribers, are looking to find cost-savings through mergers, believing a merger-friendly FCC under the Trump Administration will allow them to consolidate. "The initiatives being pursued by the Trump administration offer local broadcasters the opportunity to expand reach, level the playing field, and compete more effectively with the Big Tech and legacy Big Media companies that have unchecked reach and vast financial resources," said Nexstar Chief Executive Perry Sook. Last month, an appeals court also struck down FCC rules barring one company from owning two of the top four TV stations in a market, paving the way for mergers within markets. Nexstar said it already has its own stations in 35 of Tegna's 51 TV markets. adding that it expects to find annual synergies of $300 million through the deal. If the deal receives regulatory approval, Nexstar, which is already the largest TV broadcaster in the U.S., will have 265 full-power TV stations in 132 of the country's 210 television designated market areas. The combined company would likely blow past current limits that prevent any company from owning TV stations reaching more than 39% of the country. The FCC is currently reviewing the 39% reach cap. The companies said they expect the deal to close by the second half of 2026. Write to Nicholas G. Miller at nicholas.miller@wsj.com. (END) Dow Jones Newswires 08-19-25 0805ET
