  2. https://tvnewscheck.com/business/article/nexstar-q4-revenue-hits-1-29-billion-says-tegna-deal-on-track/ Pull quote: the company posted a net loss for the quarter of $170 million.
  3. Chicago Tribune story - https://www.chicagotribune.com/2026/02/23/wgn-tv-layoffs-reporters-anchors/ (archived): https://archive.ph/vfqVO
  4. What's the deal with KMGH whacking three managers at once? Bad performance? The memo comes from Rick G's weekly newsletter. https://files.constantcontact.com/143c1a10201/92f5a1f0-5fe8-40be-a654-3a00bd8698c0.pdf?rdr=true
  5. Kevin Holmes moves from Kansas City to Minneapolis. https://www.kare11.com/article/about-us/kare-11-welcomes-kevin-holmes-to-the-anchor-desk/89-81fefd4c-9e42-4f24-85e1-d522b567b937
  6. St. Joseph doesn't have enough economic potential for two TV newsrooms. KQTV stood alone in the market for decades before NPG's TV venture.
  7. This document, toward the end, mentions a promissory note and option agreement. https://publicfiles.fcc.gov/api/manager/download/c3d41c97-43bb-07ef-febb-2627853c6833/3efac637-ab6d-4f37-9f6e-d18c45b30a26.pdf

  9. Just as many cities don't have two or three competing newspapers anymore, fewer local TV newsrooms would not surprise me.
  10. In the Scripps swap, Gray exited a couple of markets in the West as well.
  11. Existing newsrooms struggle to hire talent and keep them away from public relations and corporate communications. I'm not sure why CBS thought they could pursue such an aggressive timeline.
