Media General Inc. cut the price it’s paying to acquire fellow TV-station owner Lin Media LLC by $110 million, after a Lin outlet lost its affiliation with the CBS network.

The revised accord lowers the stock portion of the original $1.6 billion purchase price, the companies said today in the statement. The cash amount will stay the same.
