More coverage of Nexstar-Cable One agreement
It appears that the Joplin Globe had the scoop on the entire country when it came to the Nexstar-Cable One agreement, breaking the news Thursday, but the story is beginning to get around, including a story in today's Texarkana Gazette.
“The only thing I can tell you is that all the deals that we do, we got the economic value that we were looking for,” Lammers said.
“I think we have changed the basis on which the ways deals get done,” Lammers said, adding that despite the hardship on Nexstar employees, the holdout was worth it. “On the balance, it needed to be done.”
These are quotes from the article.
