Optimum Rejects TEGNA's Excessive Fee Demands, Calls for Good-Faith Negotiations

Optimum rejects TEGNA's "outrageous" demand for a 30%-50% price hike for broadcast services. TEGNA is pursuing excessive fee increases, ignoring the current media landscape and the value consumers demand. Optimum urges policymakers to look into potential anti-competitive behavior. The company will not stand by while broadcasters attempt to use customers as "blank checks."
