Nexstar Media Group is buying broadcast rival Tegna for $6.2 billion, which will help strengthen its local news offerings. The transaction, if approved, will bring together two major players in U.S. television and the country's local news landscape.

Nexstar, the largest TV station owner in the U.S., will reach 80% of the country if the deal gets regulatory approval.

With the announced sale of 10TV, two companies may own Central Ohio's four commercial television stations by the end of 2026.
