The US’ biggest broadcast TV owner is fighting back after the Federal Communications Commission proposed a forfeiture of $720,000 over the renewal of consent for the retransmission of its stations in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Nexstar Media Inc. has formally requested the fine be lessened or dropped altogether after the FCC Media Bureau Chief Holly Saurer alleged a breach of good faith in retransmission consent negotiations with Hawaiian Telcom Services Company, Inc. (HTSC).
Nexstar challenges the FCC’s decision, which involves six stations, on two fronts.
