Aux États-Unis, la concentration des télévisions locales s'intensifie avec l'acquisition de Tegna par Nexstar, le numéro un du secteur, pour 6,2 milliards de dollars. Approuvée par les autorités de la concurrence malgré les objections d'autres opérateurs, cette fusion permettra à Nexstar de toucher 80 % des foyers américains grâce à ses 265 chaînes locales. L'accord, qui prendra effet en août 2026, suscite des inquiétudes quant à l'uniformisation de l'information et la réduction de la diversité politique sur les ondes locales. Certains craignent que Nexstar n'impose des contenus reflétant sa propre ligne politique, accélérant ainsi la concentration des médias entre les mains de proches de Donald Trump.
