Conservative political groups, including one with ties to Elon Musk, are airing a new ad advocating for approval of the Nexstar-Tegna merger.
The groups, under the banner Keep News Local, have been airing ads for weeks across the country supporting the deal, which is pending at the Federal Communications Commission. The latest ad, which has only aired in Washington so far, is part of a campaign that started in January and has been backed by Building America’s Future, a Musk-backed group.
