Take That Tegna! Hearst to Donate up to $2 Million Bucks for Relief

This morning, FTVLive told you that Tegna was using their stations to raise money for the victims of Hurricane Harvey and the relief efforts. 

Tegna also promised to match donations up to $100,000, which we thought was kind of low. 

Nexstar stations are also raising money, but no word if Nexstar is also chipping in and if so, how much? 

Nothing yet out of Sinclair, but is that surprising? 

But this morning, after FTVLive posted our story, Heart Television stepped up in a big way. Hearst is donating $1 million bucks Greater Houston Red Cross. They are also matching employees contributions up to another $1 million dollars.

Kind of makes Tegna look cheap now, doesn't it? 

Here is the internal email sent out to Hearst staffer and obtained by FTVLive.
