ABC 7 Denver 1552 Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 9 minutes ago, DENDude said: Interesting, I wonder how Gray would run 9NEWS & Channel 20 (KTVD) ? It might be a good change for the two stations. They would gain new sister stations, KKCO (11 NEWS), KJCT-LP (NEWS 8 ) In Grand Junction & KKTV in Colorado Springs/Pueblo. The branding wouldn't get any better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsbot 269 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I wonder if there is any point in Tegnafying any more stations in light of this if they're all gonna get Grayified in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will see what the DOJ /FCC do with this situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeit the '5' and 'news' are, but the slogan is barely readable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually mentioned I believe a couple of pages back in this thread. But at the time, KFSM was still on the Tribune website layout. So KFSM becomes one of only 2 Tribune/Nexstar rejects to have been completely Tegnized. Technically WNEP is the other one (even though they don't use C Clarity yet) Outside of those 2, they've all switched to the Tegna layouts but are still running either the Tribune package (WTIC, WPMT, WQAD) or the Nexstar package (WOI/KCWI, WATN/WLMT, WZDX) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dman748 1250 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 For those that are saying that no M&A's should take place right now. If I were Tegna I would seriously take the Apollo and Cox bids very seriously based on this quote Quote Allen’s offer represents a significant premium to the current price of Tegna shares, which have been buffeted like other media stocks (and just about all stocks) by the market’s recent slump. Tegna closed down 8% Wednesday at $16.02. The volatility, due to deepening fears of the coronavirus pandemic, may make an all-cash offer particularly attractive. Also I should note that the New York Times made a deal with Oak Hill (which formed Local TV) in 2007 (at a time where the Economic Downturn was just beginning) and I'd be $100 that particular deal was an all-cash deal as well. It's just the way any M&A in general is going to have to take place until the Stock Market stops the sell off and COVID-19 goes away and thus Gray is going to have to adjust it's bid and go with the flow if they want to stay in the race because right now I believe Apollo and Allen have the advantage in the race for Tegna over Gray. The key takeaway here is that just because the stock market is down doesn't mean a deal can't be made it's just that the only gurantee way you're going to win in this bid for Tegna is by going all cash. Cash and Stock won't help in this deal where in the past it has. (especially with the stock part) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if more joins in, while I do agree that the stock market may recover once COVID-19 goes away (if it does) however if Tegna really has to make a deal it's just going have to take bids like Apollo's and Allen's, normally a bid like Gray's would've been fine but right now with the stock market is shaping up it's not. One way or another I see a sale of Tegna coming soon regardless of where the Stock Market and COVID-19 stands.

rah6448 21 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) 18 hours ago, Breaking News said: WBNS is getting the TEGNA mandate tomorrow Well, here we are: TEGNAitits has been caught by WBNS/10TV amidst the fever over COVID-19 as of at least the noon newscast. Regarding the music seems that their implementation of the TEGNA mandate is at least somewhat creative. The regular music used for bumpers seems alright, but the breaking news cut used for today's noon open is one of the better cuts from C-Clarity. That being said, would rather have had them continue their use of Aerial (a la WNEP's application of TEGNA material); in talking with a fellow Atmospheric Sciences major about the catchiness of their now previous theme at The Ohio State University's Severe Weather Symposium, it was fun to hum the four-note signature as Ashlee Baracy walked by & I'd imagine she'd noticed because I thought I caught a smirk (BTW: This was supposed to be a video of today's noon open, going to try to see if they still have their live streaming page where you can go and even see previous newscasts & go get a screen grab) VID_20200312_120102.mp4 Edited March 12, 2020 by rah6448 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
