    That didn’t take long. Byron Allen is already saying he’s interested in TEGNA.

    I’m not so sure. Even a simple transaction may draw the ire of the FCC after how Sinclair behaved during their Tribune acquisition attempt. Also, Sinclair is up against the national cap now (assuming that the current FCC will not be using the UHF discount anymore).

    Honestly I don’t think Soo Kim/Standard will ever be selected as the winning bidders of a station group again. Just like after the Sinclair-Tribune deal died in a similar fashion, Sinclair has not been able to buy any full power stations since because no one will sell to them. Prospective sellers don’t want to sell their stations to a group that has a poor track record of getting deals done. In the bidding process companies often look at everything especially: -Who offers the most -Who is most likely to get the deal across the finish line
  4. weather8822 started following Standard General to acquire Tegna for $8.6 Billion

    Ding dong, Soo Kim’s deal is dead. TEGNA just announced late this afternoon the merger is terminated.

    Melinda, I saw your post about Russell Bird's death being ruled an accident. There are a few other places outside this forum where I think people would be interested to know this information. I wanted to check with you before I tell them, though. What is your relation to Russell? Thanks, Nick
