For more than a decade, iHeartMedia radio stations carrying national campaigns through its Premiere Networks arm and via local campaigns maintained exclusivity for a mobile speed dial rapid accessibility tool designed to aid recall and action in a Direct Response advertisement. Now, "Dial #250" is available to all.

In another sign that the Patrick Paolini-led TEGNA is most definitely an independently-run unit of Nexstar Media Group, he's just signed off on a "comprehensive, multi-year deal" that renews station affiliation agreements for all of the stations presently airing such programming as "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and "The View."

On June 12, 2024, the former News Director and Asst. ND of WOOD-TV each filed a defamation suit against Nexstar Media Group. A September 2024 attempt by Nexstar to dismiss the complaint from the ND was dismissed. Now, more than two years later, a federal district court judge has ruled in favor of the ex-staffers, but not for defamation.

A federal magistrate judge has denied a motion designed to force Nexstar and TEGNA to respond to a question as part of the discovery process in its antitrust case filed by a group of state AGs and DirecTV.  The decision is a win for the nation's largest owner of broadcast TV stations — at least for this round.
