US Supreme Court rejects Nexstar bid to avoid DirecTV lawsuit over fees
The US Supreme Court has dismissed Nexstar Media Group's appeal to halt DirecTV's antitrust lawsuit accusing Nexstar and two station owners of allegedly overcharging for content distribution fees. DirecTV's 2023 lawsuit claimed that the three companies conspired to demand high fees, violating antitrust law, and forced some stations to go dark for a million DirecTV subscribers.
Nexstar argues that a company can only sue for price-fixing if it actually pays inflated prices, while DirecTV maintains its right to pursue the antitrust claims based on alleged lost profits.
