This investigation has a factor in the Tribune/Nexstar deal.
The FCC has resolved its investigation into a couple of Nexstar stations, which follows its dismissal of a retrans complaint against the broadcaster, which comes in the context of FCC chair Ajit Pai's circulation of an item approving Nexstar's merger with Tribune.
The commission likes to resolve pending issues with a merger party that could impact its standing as a licensee before deciding whether to let it own more stations.
That comes thanks to a consent decree executed by Nexstar--the FCC was looking into whether its KARK-TV Little Rock and KFDX-TV Wichita were meeting their KidVid requirements--specifically whether they had filed the requisite quarterly reports. Nexstar will pay a fine of $109,076.
