It remains to be seen if Sinclair sells some of its TV stations.

weather8822 17 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 That didn’t take long. Byron Allen is already saying he’s interested in TEGNA. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18752-standard-general-to-acquire-tegna-for-86-billion/page/18/#findComment-286870 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1955 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I really think Tegna needs to lay low on any future M&A takeovers for a good while. 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18752-standard-general-to-acquire-tegna-for-86-billion/page/18/#findComment-286871 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll buy them.

With Allen, I just can't see a similar mess happening. Less station conflicts and he's a smarter dude compared to Kim who had more money than sense really. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18752-standard-general-to-acquire-tegna-for-86-billion/page/18/#findComment-286911 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or don’t, and just leave Tegna the hell alone as long as they’re profitable and able to operate. But yeah, I agree, Jessel is a rather embarrassing read imo. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18752-standard-general-to-acquire-tegna-for-86-billion/page/18/#findComment-287091 Share on other sites More sharing options...

"As I’ve written here before, Standard General may not be the best broadcaster to run the Tegna stations, but it has demonstrated over the past decade that it is a capable and respectable one." This was comical and I nearly laughed out loud. Almost a contradiction in terms. They have done barely anything with the stations they DO own. Poor pay, few resources while adding more work (such as KLKN in Lincoln, NE producing a newscast for...Cape Girardeau , MO?), old equipment, and poor ratings (pretty sure KLKN and WLNE are both last place). I'm curious to know where they've shown they're "capable and respectable."
