With no commentary or publicly released explanation, the Supreme Court of the United States on Monday (10/5) denied the request of Nexstar Media Group to review a Second Circuit ruling that reversed an antitrust win — one that is wholly tied to the thorny issue of retransmission consent negotiations.
It’s a win for a team of King & Spalding attorneys representing DirecTV, which in late August filed a brief in opposition of Nexstar’s April 28 petition for a writ of certiorari. This arrived after the court granted DirecTV’s legal counsel an extra four weeks to prepare its response.
