Nexstar also confirms that on March 19, 2026, TEGNA became its wholly owned subsidiary in a cash merger where each TEGNA share received $22, implying a preliminary purchase price of about $3,656 million for 165.9 million shares and awards.

Nexstar Media Group completed its previously announced acquisition of TEGNA Inc. on March 19, 2026, making TEGNA a wholly owned subsidiary. Each share of TEGNA common stock was converted into the right to receive $22.00 in cash, excluding certain treasury, subsidiary and appraisal shares.
To finance the transaction, Nexstar’s subsidiary entered into a $2,390 million senior first-lien bridge facility, a new $150 million term loan A facility and a $2,750 million term loan B facility, with SOFR-based interest and maturities ranging from 364 days to seven years. Proceeds, together with $200 million drawn on the bridge facility, funded a portion of the cash consideration, repaid certain TEGNA debt and covered transaction expenses.
The acquisition received approvals from the FCC and U.S. Department of Justice.
