# Tegna The broadcast-television company spun off from [[Gannett]] in 2015 (taking the TV stations while the newspapers kept the Gannett name), owner of roughly 60 local stations. A 2022 attempt by Standard General to buy Tegna collapsed in 2023 after FCC resistance; in 2025–2026 [[Nexstar]] acquired it in a contested ~$6.2 billion deal challenged by state attorneys general and DirecTV. > [!note] Stub > Minimum-viable page created to support the [[Nexstar and Tegna Timeline]].
