TDS Telecom has complained to the FCC about Nexstar and asked its subs to do the same in an online video.  

TDS Telecom subs in Indiana and Tennessee lost access to Nexstar stations in Indiana, Oregon, New Mexico, Texas, Tennessee, Colorado, Utah and Nevada on Jan. 1 over what TDS CEO Jim Butman said was an unreasonable demand for an "up to 129%" retransmission consent rate increase.  

The Nexstar stations countered that the proposed increases were reasonable. “We have been negotiating tirelessly and in good faith to establish a mutually agreeable contract with TDS, proposing fair and reasonable terms,” the stations said on their websites.
