Today we’re going to be looking at the largest such local TV station owner/operator in the United States, Nexstar Media Group ( NASDAQ: NXST ). They’re looking to get even bigger through an announced acquisition of Tegna ( TGNA ), a substantial competitor.

A former marketing producer for WTHR shares concerns of potential layoffs due to potential Nexstar Media Group acquisition of TEGNA.

U.S. television station owner Sinclair has made an offer to merge its broadcast TV business with smaller rival Tegna , which is in advanced talks on a potential sale to Nexstar Media Group , a person familiar with the talks told Reuters on Monday.

Nexstar’s proposed $6.2 billion acquisition of Tegna could bring Cleveland’s WJW and WKYC under one owner, but regulatory hurdles make the deal’s local impact uncertain.
