The Colorado Sun: A federal judge in California on Friday extended a temporary restraining order that keeps Nexstar Media group separate from Tegna Inc. for another week, as he weighs a possible injunction that would keep the two companies apart while an antitrust lawsuit proceeds.

Lawyers for eight states and DirecTV are asking Chief U.S. District Judge Troy A. Nunley to allow their combined antitrust suit against Nexstar Media Group and Tegna Inc. to continue, and to force the two companies to remain separate entities while the case proceeds. They argued in court Tuesday that the merger is bad for competition, bad for local journalism and will lead to raised prices for cable and satellite subscribers across the country.
