A federal magistrate judge has denied a motion designed to force Nexstar and TEGNA to respond to a question as part of the discovery process in its antitrust case filed by a group of state AGs and DirecTV.  The decision is a win for the nation's largest owner of broadcast TV stations — at least for this round.

In fall 2013, a familiar voice to many across Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia could no longer be found on the FM dial. A diagnosis of oral cancer had impacted the vocal chords of a man who worked in Top 40 radio across three decades. Now, many are pausing to remember "Big Don" O'Brien, who has died.

Just days after the privately held company saw five key shareholders agree to sell their stock, making the radio station licensee 100% employee-owned, Leighton Media has submitted paperwork with the FCC seeking its approval to add an FM to its radio holdings.
