No, a lot of people think it's a bad name. Like I said in the Gannett general thread, it sounds like the sort of name a scandal-ridden insurance company would adopt after their scandal blew over.

Who the f*** came up with that bogus name? I mean there many names under that company umbrella they could go by.

USA Today digital news service Inc

Gannett Media Holdings Inc,

Gannett Television Broadcasting

Gannett Services

Gannett Digital Media

All the stations in the company could be; WXIA-TV copyright 2015 a division of Gannett Television

 

Anything but Tegna which sounds like a car that Toyota will debut in 2017.

Because it would be silly to reuse either the "Multimedia," "Combined" or "Pacific and Southern" names.

 

 

Or even Belo in this case....

 

It's actually not as silly as y'all might think. Sometimes it makes sense. For example, if Hearst Corp. were to split, its digital media arm would be called "Argyle Television Holdings III" as there have already been 2 predecessor companies of Hearst by nearly the same name.
