Judge halts local TV giant Nexstar's takeover of rival Tegna until trial

Columbus, Ohio is one of the cities where Nexstar owns and operates two major television stations following its acquisition of rival TV group Tegna.

U.S. Judge Trevor Nunley ruled that consumers could suffer irreparable harm if Nexstar integrated Tegna's stations into its own operations ahead of an antitrust trial.
