In June 2015, Gannett spun off its broadcasting division. Robert Dickey ? who led Gannett's newspaper group ? would continue as CEO of the company as a sole newspaper publisher, leaving the former broadcasting and digital operations under the leadership of
Gracia Martore
. In a statement, she explained that the split plans were "significant next steps in our ongoing initiatives to increase shareholder value by building scale, increasing cash flow, sharpening management focus, and strengthening all of our businesses to compete effectively in today's increasingly digital landscape". Additionally, the company announced that it would buy out the remainder of
Classified Ventures
(a joint venture between Tegna and several other media companies) for $1.8?billion, giving it full ownership of properties such as
Cars.com
.
[5]
[6]
As part of the separation, the company announced that the broadcasting and digital company would be named Tegna?a partial
anagram
of "Gannett".
[7]
The spin-out was structured so that "old" Gannett changed its name to Tegna, Inc., then spun off its newspaper holdings into a "new" Gannett. The split was completed on June 29, 2015. Tegna retained "old" Gannett's stock price history, though it trades under a new ticker symbol, TGNA. The "new" Gannett inherited old Gannett's longtime ticker symbol, GCI.
[8]
The two companies, however, continued to share a headquarters complex.
Tegna also retained G/O Digital, a digital marketing services brand that it launched in August 2013, and the 20 broadcast stations it acquired from
Belo Corporation
in December 2013 and the six stations it acquired from London Broadcasting Company in July 2014.
[4]
[9]
[10]
In September 2016, Tegna announced plans to spin off Cars.com to create two independent publicly traded companies. Tegna shareholders approved an initial public offering of Cars.com as a publicly traded spin-off in May 2017.
[11]
[12]
Shortly after, Tegna completed the spin-off of Cars.com, which now trades under a new ticker symbol, CARS.
[13]
Upon the completion of the spin-off, Dave Lougee, president of Tegna Media, was named president and CEO of Tegna and joined the company's board of directors. Gracia Martore, president and CEO of Tegna, retired and stepped down from the board.
[14]
Prior to the company's completion of the spin-off of Cars.com, it was reported by DealReporter that
Nexstar Media Group
may be considering a bid to acquire Tegna.
[15]
In June 2017, Tegna announced it had entered into a definitive agreement, together with the other owners of
CareerBuilder
, to sell CareerBuilder to an investor group led by investments funds managed by affiliates of
Apollo Global Management
and the board of the
Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan
.
[16]
Tegna and Cooper Media, parent corporation of the
Justice Network
, announced on November 7, 2017, a new multicast network,
Quest
.
[17]
Tegna would be the charter station group as such would receive a minority stake in the network, which launched in January 2018.
[18]
The range of programming on the network would be engineering and science, human achievements, military history and natural history.
[19]
On December 18, 2017, Tegna announced it would acquire
KFMB-AM
-
FM
-
TV
in
San Diego
from Midwest Television, Inc. for $325 million, pending approval from the
Federal Communications Commission
.
[20]
The acquisition was completed on February 15, 2018.
[21]
On August 20, 2018, Tegna agreed to purchase two stations spun off from the
Gray Television
-
Raycom Media
merger, CBS affiliate
WTOL-TV
in
Toledo
(the sale likely includes rights to an existing shared services agreement with
American Spirit Media
-owned Fox affiliate
WUPW
) and NBC affiliate
KWES-TV
in
Odessa
in order to alleviate ownership conflicts involving Gray's ownership of ABC affiliate
WTVG
in the Toledo market and CBS affiliate
KOSA-TV
in the Odessa market.
[22]
[23]
In March 2019, Tegna announced its formation of VAULT Studios, its first, in-house digital content studio. The studio's first content would be true crime podcasts, drawing on its station news content.
[24]
On March 20, 2019, Tegna entered an agreement with
Nexstar Media Group
to acquire eleven stations for $740 million in order to reduce Nexstar's national ownership reach under the federally imposed 39% cap and alleviate ownership conflicts with existing Nexstar properties once it completes a merger with
Tribune Media
. Included are stations
WOI-DT
?
KCWI-DT
in
Des Moines
and
WQAD-TV
, based in
Moline, Illinois
but also serving neighboring
Davenport
and
Pennsylvania
(
WPMT
/
Harrisburg
and
WNEP-TV
/
Scranton
?
Wilkes-Barre
). Other Nexstar/Tribune stations going to Tegna are
WZDX
/
Huntsville
,
KFSM-TV
/
Fort Smith
?
Fayetteville
,
WTIC-TV
?
WCCT-TV
/
Hartford
, and
WATN-TV
?
WLMT
/
Memphis
.
[25]
[26]
The FCC approved the sale on September 16.
[27]
On May 6, 2019, it was reported that Tegna was going to acquire the 85% of the Justice Network and Quest from Cooper Media that it did not own already for $77 Million to close by the end of the second quarter. Cooper Media's president and general manager Brian Weiss transferred to Tegna and continued managing the two networks.
[28]
On June 11, 2019, it was reported Tegna Inc. purchased the
Dispatch Broadcast Group
's television and radio assets, subject to regulatory approval, for $535 million. The purchase includes the WBNS television (
CBS
affiliate
WBNS-TV
) and radio (
WBNS (AM)
and
WBNS-FM
) stations in Columbus, the
Ohio News Network
, and
NBC
affiliate
WTHR
television in
Indianapolis
.
[29]
The sale was approved by the FCC on July 29, 2019,
[30]
and was completed on August 8.
[31]
In December 2019, Tegna agreed to sell KFMB-AM-FM to Local Media San Diego for $5 million;
[32]
the sale was completed on March 17, 2020.
[33]
A carriage dispute with
DirecTV
, beginning at 7 p.m. ET on December 1, 2020, resulted in the removal of at least 60 Tegna stations in 51 markets, covering about 39% of TV homes, from the DirecTV,
AT&T U-verse
and
AT&T TV
services.
[34]
[35]
The dispute was resolved on December 20, 2020.
[36]
A carriage dispute with
Dish Network
, beginning on October 6, 2021, resulted in the removal of at least 64 Tegna stations in 53 markets, covering about nearly 3 million customers.
[37]
On October 18, Dish Network filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission against Tegna.
[38]
However, on February 4, 2022, Dish Network reached an agreement with Tegna, resulting in all Tegna owned stations returning.
[39]
Another carriage dispute with DirecTV in late 2023 resulted in the removal of 66 Tegna stations from the DirecTV, AT&T U-verse, AT&T TV and
DirecTV Stream
services at 8 p.m. ET on November 30.
[40]
[41]
The dispute was resolved on January 13, 2024.
[42]
The following month, TEGNA affirmed the dispute with DirecTV caused it to see lower subscription and overall revenue during 2023.
[43]
Aborted sale to Standard General and Apollo Global Management
edit
In 2020,
activist shareholder
Soo Kim, owner of
Standard General
, began to pursue control over Tegna, citing its "pattern of passivity" on the market.
[44]
In March 2020, Tegna stated that it had turned down two acquisition offers by
Gray Television
and
Apollo Global Management
, stating that "these two parties made their proposals shortly before the recent market dislocation due to the COVID-19 pandemic and both subsequently informed Tegna that they were ceasing discussions". In regards to other rumored offers from
Byron Allen
and religious broadcaster
TBN
(the latter in partnership with
Jahm Najafi
), the company stated that "the other two parties have not signed confidentiality agreements to enable due diligence and have not delivered any information on financing sources".
[45]
Kim began to engage in a
proxy fight
, with Standard General proposing four nominations to Tegna's board of directors at its next shareholders' meeting in April.
[46]
Tegna's shareholders chose to re-elect all 12 current board members. Kim accepted the result of the vote, stating that the actions had helped to "[challenge] management's narrative about the Company's performance and seeking greater transparency about Tegna's numbers, acquisition metrics, and engagement with third parties".
[47]
[48]
[49]
In 2021, Standard General once again put forward nominees to Tegna's board of directors, alleging that the company was underperforming and had issues with
diversity, equity, and inclusion
; the latter came after a Black nominee put forward by Standard General withdrew, citing a previous incident involving CEO Dave Lougee in 2014.
[46]
[50]
[51]
[52]
The company stated that Lougee "immediately acknowledged the incident and has stated that he made a mistake, for which he had apologized immediately at the time".
[52]
On February 22, 2022, Tegna announced that it had agreed to be taken private by a group led by Standard General and Apollo Global Management for $24 per-share, valuing the company at $5.4 billion. The company, which will retain the Tegna name, will be controlled by an affiliate of Standard General, with
Standard Media
CEO Deb McDermott (who previously led
Young Broadcasting
and
Media General
) becoming CEO. Affiliates of AGM, as well as
Cox Media Group
(which is principally owned by AGM, with
Cox Enterprises
as a minority shareholder) and other investors, will hold non-voting shares in the company. Tegna's digital advertising subsidiary Premion will be held as a standalone business between Standard and CMG. The sale includes a clause that will slowly increase the value that Standard and Apollo will pay per-share if the sale takes longer than nine months to close.
[44]
[53]
[54]
The sale will also result in the realignment of station holdings presently associated with both companies: Standard Media's four stations
WDKA
,
WLNE
,
KBSI
, and
KLKN
will be sold to Cox Media Group, which will then divest its Boston station
WFXT
to an affiliate of Standard General, and acquire
WFAA
/
KMPX
,
KHOU
/
KTBU
, and
KVUE
, from Tegna.
[44]
[53]
[54]
The sale was approved by Standard General and Apollo Global Management on May 17, 2022.
[55]
On October 6, 2022, Chair of the
House Energy and Commerce Committee
Frank Pallone
and
Speaker of the House
Nancy Pelosi
issued a letter to the FCC expressing concerns for the transaction, arguing that it "would violate the FCC's mandate by restricting access to local news coverage, cutting jobs at local television stations, and raising prices on consumers". They specifically cited statements by Standard General regarding plans for a Washington, D.C. bureau to produce content for local newscasts, and arguing that Tegna's stations had "too many employees".
[56]
Standard General responded to the letter, denying that they planned to cut jobs or hub content, and promoting that Tegna would become the largest female-run and minority-owned broadcaster in the United States. They also responded to objections by
NewsGuild-CWA
describing Standard General as "backed by anonymous investors located in the Cayman Islands", stating that the entirety of its board is represented by U.S. interests.
[56]
On February 24, 2023, it was confirmed that FCC staff had referred the deal to an
administrative law judge
, effectively killing the deal since the hearing process would necessarily run longer than the merger agreement's deadline to close the deal.
[57]
The deal was terminated on May 22, 2023.
[58]
Tegna owns or operates 68 television stations located in 54 markets (including fourteen
duopolies
); it also owns two radio stations in Columbus, Ohio.
[59]
[21]
Twenty-two of the company's stations are affiliated with NBC (including one digital subchannel of
KBMT
and two
semi-satellites
of
KCEN-TV
and
WCSH
), fifteen are affiliated with
CBS
, thirteen are affiliated with
ABC
, and six are affiliated with
Fox
. In addition, the company owns seven
CW
affiliates (including three digital subchannels of
KFMB-TV
,
KYTX
, and
WMAZ-TV
), three
Estrella TV
affiliates (including two digital subchannels of
KENS
and
KVUE
), ten
MyNetworkTV
affiliates (including five digital subchannels of KFMB-TV,
KIDY
,
KXVA
,
WQAD-TV
, and
WZDX
), three
independent stations
(including two digital subchannels of
KTVB
and its satellite of KTFT-LD), a
low-powered
MeTV
affiliate, and a
Quest
owned-and-operated
station. It also provides operational services to another Fox affiliate,
WUPW
in Toledo, through a
shared services agreement
with that station's owner
American Spirit Media
(agreements that were carried over from WTOL's previous ownership; ASM had acted in a similar capacity with several stations).

In 2015, Tegna Media test-ran a limited-run informative talk show hosted by Dallas-based bishop
T. D. Jakes
on its owned stations in Dallas, Atlanta, Minneapolis and Cleveland. The show, titled
T.D. Jakes
, was co-produced by
Debmar-Mercury
, Tegna Media, 44 Blue Productions, Jakes' own production company, TDJ Enterprises and EnLight Productions and lasted from August 17, 2016, to September 8, 2017.
[61]
On December 9, Tegna
greenlit
the series for an entire run for the 2016?2017 broadcast season. The series debuted on September 12 on most, if not all Tegna-owned stations, as well as several large markets, including Baltimore (
WMAR-TV
), Detroit (
WMYD
), Orlando (
WFTV
/
WRDQ
), Chicago (
WCIU-TV
), San Antonio (
KSAT-TV
), and San Diego (
KGTV
). Debmar-Mercury, however, is not participating in the production run, being replaced by independent company Flow Media Partners.
[62]
T.D. Jakes
ended in September 2017 and was replaced with news and entertainment show
Daily Blast Live
, which premiered on September 11, 2017.
[63]
Other shows Tegna Media has on first-run syndication across most of its stations are
Sister Circle
(also shown on cable network
TV One
),
[64]
and reality competition
Sing Like A Star
.
[65]
In January 2018, Tegna announced a partnership with
Sony Pictures Television
to handle syndication distribution and advertising sales for its original programs.
[66]
Digital sites
edit
Gannett Company
spun-off most of its internet media properties to Tegna.
[67]

Owned by Sander Media, LLC, Gannett operated these stations through a
shared services
agreement (SSA).

As part of the Gannett/Belo merger, KMOV, KTVK, and KASW were transferred to Sander Media, LLC; Gannett planned to operate the stations through
shared service agreements
. However, on December 16, 2013, the
Department of Justice
ordered that the parties (Gannett, Belo and Sander) had a period of 120 days to divest KMOV to a government-approved independent third-party that would be barred from entering into any agreements with Gannett, in order to fully preserve competition in advertising sales with KSDK. On December 23, shortly after the approval and completion of the Gannett/Belo deal,
Meredith Corporation
announced that it would purchase KMOV, KTVK and KASW in a $407.4?million deal.
[73]
The KMOV sale was completed on February 28, 2014.
[74]
The KTVK/KASW sale was completed on June 19.
