  2. The government shutdown was by definition temporary; without a vaccine work schedules face extreme disruption for an indefinite period of time in the COVID-19 era. Furthermore, a significant amount of work will be home-based going forward. Even a number of TV reporters I've spoken to acknowledge that things will never be the same again.

  3. That's the problem right there, Tegna is focused on getting through the pandemic before thinking about selling but yet Kim is over here saying "Tegna should sell now." It's becoming clear that the pathway to getting all 4 of the board seats is going to be very difficult for Standard General and if they're lucky they may get one of them on there. The question becomes can there be a compromise that would finally put an end to this proxy war and is getting maybe one or two of Kim's nominees on the board in exchange for Kim himself, along with his other 2 nominees not getting a board seat feasible? I know that's not what Tegna wants to do but as much as this proxy fight is interesting to watch and follow, however there's got to be an ending to this and knowing Kim he's not going to be satified until he gets what he wants so I think the only way how this is going to end is a compromise, the problem is neither side is showing any interest in making concessions here.

  5. If we're not bundling the network with them, Hearst. They and ABC already cooperate with ESPN and the A&E Family of networks and there is zero broadcast overlap. The issue there: Newspapers, namely the San Francisco Chronicle, Houston Chronicle, plus their four newspapers in Fairfield County, CT. This could end one of two ways: Hearst finally spins off print and broadcast into different entities to end-run the NBCO rules or Hearst goes the the government and says that the NBCO rules are a undue burden on them and that their repeal would do zero harm. Remember, Hearst still has a sterling reputation, just don't tell that to their smaller market TV stations or to E. Jean Carroll.
