Nexstar Media Group Inc. agreed to buy TV station operator Tegna Inc. for $3.5 billion in a deal that stands to dramatically expand Nexstar’s reach and test the Trump administration’s appetite for regulatory reform.

Today we’re going to be looking at the largest such local TV station owner/operator in the United States, Nexstar Media Group ( NASDAQ: NXST ). They’re looking to get even bigger through an announced acquisition of Tegna ( TGNA ), a substantial competitor.

Nexstar, the largest TV station owner in the U.S., will reach 80% of the country if the deal gets regulatory approval.
