WASHINGTON: Federal Communications Commission chairman Ajit Pai on Friday sought approval from his colleagues for an order to approve Nexstar Media Group Inc's acquisition of Tribune Media Co in a US$6.4 billion tie-up, a spokeswoman for the agency said.
Last month, the U.S. Justice Department approved the deal, saying the companies must divest television stations in 13 markets to resolve antitrust concerns. Pai's order needs the consent of a majority of the five-member FCC.Nexstar said in December it had agreed to buy Chicago-based Tribune for US$4.1 billion in a deal valued at US$6.4 billion including debt that would make it the largest regional U.S. television station operator.
