How is this allowed? Didn’t we go through this with ATT when they owned basically every telephone company back in the day? This is going to lead to a severe downfall in the already lacking local journalism landscape.
Conglomerate takeovers by any media company is bad news for a litany of reasons. The most obvious, controlling news content. It’s interesting that Sinclair, a more conservative operation, was kept from even a small fraction from what is going on with this atrocity. Aren’t anti-trust laws supposed to curtail these huge takeovers?
Local print news has done so well after consolidation by Gannett/USA Today, hasn’t it? Well, no, it hasn’t. The decrease in subscribers to The Indianapolis Star can be attributed, in part, to the decline in quality of local content and viewpoint bias since Gannett took over.

Direct competitors (Channels 13 and 59) now owned by the same folks, with the same news director, same reporter staff. Yep, this will increase diversity of coverage. Nexstar already has NewNation as its national network, so I can only imagine this will end any level of political balance in reporting.
The best result of this could-should be that the local stations quit trying to report national news. That regurgitation of national network bias has become the worst part of any local news show and their anchors. The national news networks are failing on their own without the need of sharing that hype with the locals. Maybe the locals even try and report more local, including statewide, news that even has some real investigation efforts. We can all find the internet stories on our own. Since Nexstar is not a producer of news, they should let the locals be local journalist and not just follow some national script and narratives.
One more step in MAGAs march towards only state run media being available….
Local news has reached saturation and 90% of breaking news has to do with a shooting! I suggest shorter broadcasts and adding sports back in as it used to be
