The licensee of four FM stations serving a rural portion of eastern Kentucky have entered into a Consent Decree with the Chief of the FCC Media Bureau's Audio Division that absolves the radio broadcasting company of a series of rule violations ranging from tardy license renewals to failure to maintain its online public file.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has declined to move ahead with a fresh look at a District Court's decision that put the kibosh on a $136 million racial discrimination claim against the FCC for Standard General's inability to complete its proposed merger with TEGNA.

TEGNA has a new Board of Directors, complying with an order from the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California in Sacramento. The news was shared via a "Status Report" submitted by Nexstar Media Group legal counsel to the judge overseeing its legal battle against DirecTV and a coalition of state Attorneys General.

The weeks-long standoff is over. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit formally issued a mandate on Tuesday, vacating the stay that had clouded Cumulus Media’s antitrust injunction against Nielsen and confirming that the order is back in force.
