In its suit, the Deseret News is asking for a declaration that the option agreement is unenforceable, reasserting its long-held belief that, under the JOA, the Deseret News has to consent to any sale of the Tribune and its half of the NAC.

Before it began negotiating to buy the Tribune, MediaNews sought and received Deseret News permission in accordance with the JOA requirement.

Singleton said Monday he was "disappointed that we as owners could not move promptly to solve these disputes" with the Deseret News. He blamed Campbell's most recent ruling in the Tribune's federal court case for the breakdown in negotiations over the JOA.

"A federal court injunction put us on the sidelines, and now we're little more than bystanders," he said.
