Samantha 2878 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Hi @dzonershow, this isn't the place for speculation or list-forming, and I think it's worth stating that up front. My guess is that with Grand Rapids being closer to Chicago than Indianapolis and not in Indiana, it was not worth expanding the territorial rights area that far (with Iowa being a unique and compelling exception). The markets involved are all the Indiana markets (bar Terre Haute, where they must not have been able to get Allen or Nexstar to sign up) plus Louisville (a Tegna market with a bunch of Indiana counties), Cincinnati (which contains a few Indiana counties), Central Illinois, Dayton, and Lexington. Grand Rapids is closer than some of those last two, but closer in the direction of another WNBA franchise. Even some big markets to which Indiana is the closest WNBA team that have Tegna stations (St. Louis! Cleveland! Columbus!) are not included, and that may be to protect the national rightsholders.

Howard Beale 16 Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 1 hour ago, T.L. Hughes said: Michael Steib has been named the company’s President, CEO and Director, succeeding David Lougee, who will remain with Tegna in a Senior Advisor role. Lougee is getting out while the getting is still good for him. He made $10.9 million in total compensation in 2023, and stands to make at least $6 million simply by retiring. I’m certain Tegna will have a nice and comfy arrangement for him in his “senior advisor” role as well.
