If the sale between Nexstar and Tribune goes through, Nexstar will own 213 local television stations, which means they will become the largest local TV news operator in the country.
This potential sale isn’t public yet, and is only speculation at the moment. But it’s fair to assume that the FCC will have certain requirements for the deal to go through. If the FCC was forcing Sinclair to sell some stations for that sale, is makes sense that they would force Nexstar to sell some stations for this deal.
But for now, all of that is up in the air. We will update this article as more information is released.
