MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On Tuesday, August 17, KARE 11 was awarded two National Edward R. Murrow Award for excellence. One for Breaking News Coverage and one for Video Excellence. The prestigious honors, given annually by The Radio Television Digital News Association, recognize exceptional work by radio, television and online news organizations.  

The award for Excellence in Breaking News Coverage in a Large Market honored “Minneapolis Unrest” coverage that focused on the outpouring of rage, devastation and destruction following George Floyd’s public murder while in the custody of Minneapolis police officers.

Judge Issues Preliminary Injunction to Further Block NXST/TGNA

As expected, the Judge overseeing the DIRECTV and states’ antitrust suit against the NXST/TGNA deal has issued a Preliminary Injunction blocking the merger and continued to make the assets of the two companies subject to a “hold separate” order.

Judge extends TRO in NXST Antitrust Case

The judge overseeing the antitrust case against the NXST/TGNA merger issued an order extending his temporary restraining order (TRO) against the merger, giving himself another seven days (until April 17 at 6:00 PM PT) to prepare and publish his ruling on whether to issue a preliminary injunction (PI) to hold the assets of the two enterprises separate pending a trial on the merits. In this note we quickly assess the implications of the extension.

NXST/TGNA preliminary injunction hearing didn’t go great (for NXST)

As discussed earlier this week, the District Court overseeing the antitrust claims against the NXST/TGNA deal issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) that we viewed as a likely indicator that the Court will delay the integration of NXST and TGNA for a significant time, if not permanently. Yesterday, the Court held a hearing on whether to turn the TRO into a Preliminary Injunction (PI) as well as to whether, and if so, how, to modify the details of the “hold separate” terms of the TRO and if ...

Court Blocks NXST/TGNA Deal

The District Court has granted the States’ Attorneys Generals request for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) that in effect requires NXST to operate the assets it just purchased from TGNA as a separate entity, pending further proceedings. In this note, we address the implications of the ruling for investors in the broadcast and adjacent sectors.

NXST/TGNA Closes while States, DTV, and Others Sue

In rapid order late last week, states and DirecTV sued to block the NXST/TGNA deal, NXST made commitments to the FCC, the FCC Media Bureau and DOJ approved the deal, the deal closed and a coalition petitioned the FCC (and soon the courts) to overturn the order. In this note we describe the actions, discuss what’s next, note how the events of last week shifted the risks from TGNA shareholders to NXST shareholders, and describe what those risks are.
