Nexstar Files Lawsuit Against Former KNWA Sports Anchor

Arkansas Business.com is reporting Nexstar, parent company of KNWA and KARK, has filed a lawsuit to keep former sports anchor Bo Mattingly off the radio airwaves. Below is an excerpt from the article:

"Mattingly and Cumulus Broadcasting LLC were named Friday in a lawsuit filed by Nexstar claiming that the broadcaster was violating a noncompete agreement. The lawsuit also said Mattingly and was in breach of his contract with the company by launching a sports talk show this week less, than one month after he resigned from his television post. Nexstar also filed a preliminary injunction to keep the show off the air.

"I'm going to do my job and let my attorneys do theirs," Mattingly said. "For me it's going to be business as usual."
