TEGNA
TEGNA is a local broadcast company that operates more than five dozen local television stations in 66 markets across the country. The company is headquartered in Arlington County, Virginia.
As of March 2026, TEGNA is operating as a subsidiary business of Nexstar Media Group, though the company is required to maintain separate executive leadership and operations due to ongoing litigation over the merger. Until 2015, TEGNA was part of Gannett Company.
