Nextstar is looking to buy Tegna in a $6.2 billion cash deal — but will the FCC allow it despite a conflict with current TV ownership rules?

Nexstar beat out rival Sinclair, which was offering between $25 and $30 per share, significantly above Nexstar's winning bid.

Shares of broadcasting and digital media company TEGNA (NYSE:TGNA) jumped 4.5% in the morning session after it announced a definitive agreement to be acquired by Nexstar Media Group (Nasdaq: NXST) in an all-cash deal.
