Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell fire off a tough letter to FCC Chair Brendan Carr over Nexstars $6.2 billion Tegna buyout. The merged company would run 259 full-power stations, hitting nearly 80% of American TV homes. DirecTV, states, and conservative groups challenge the merger on antitrust and competition grounds.
