There’s apparently some sort of deal in the pipeline that might’ve been jeopardized if they hadn’t acted.

Yes, there was (https://www.forbes.com/sites/howardhomonoff/2025/08/20/nexstar-and-tegna-announce--merger-plan-what-to-look-for-next/). Now, what was the deal that was jeopardised if they hadn’t fired Roseann? Which government official blatantly threatened the network over Roseann? Name, please.
