Colorado AG Phil Weiser (D) reacts to today's decision by a federal judge pausing the acquisition of TEGNA (9NEWS) by Nexstar (FOX31). Weiser and other Democratic attorneys general sued to stop the deal on anti-monopoly grounds.
Big win for Colorado! We are putting the 9News-Fox31 merger on hold.

A federal judge agreed we’re likely to prevail in our antitrust case, blocking this deal that would’ve put more power in fewer hands and threatened local news.

I’ll always fight for Colorado.

Localizing the Kimmel story: Nexstar owns Fox31 in Denver, Fox in Colorado Springs, and CBS in Grand Junction. Its pending acquisition of TEGNA would mean ownership of 9News.

Interesting conversation on some topics not usually posed to a gubernatorial candidate (Full disclosure: Involves a discussion of AG Weiser's suit to stop the purchase of 9NEWS by the parent of FOX31)
In the Dem primary for governor in Colorado, Phil Weiser spent an hour talking about local news, civics, AI, public policy for media, the First Amendment, and more. Michael Bennet's campaign didn't make him available after four months of saying they would: coloradomedia.substack.com/p/interview-...

February 10, 2026 at 3:05 AM
President Trump's surprising opposition to deregulating local TV ownership could impact the proposed acquisition of TEGNA (9NEWS) by Nexstar (Fox31).

Nexstar then mirrored Trump's language, criticizing "legacy media," "coastal elites," and proclaiming itself "the anti-fake news"

Hello anonymous friend. You'll have to ask FOX31's journalists why they're not talking about the acquisition of 9NEWS. My goal is to be transparent with the public. Thank you for your encouragement re: my future career prospects.
