4 Months Later...
Sources tell FTVLive that Tegna is expected to announce that they are being sold to the hedge fund groups of Standard Media and Apollo, and that announcement could come as early as this week, it is more likely 2 to 3 weeks away.
But with that announcement looming, Tegna has decided to end their pissing match with Dish Networks that has dragged on for 4 months.
Tegna EVP Lynn Beall said, “our valuable and important live local news, live local and national sports and highly popular network content to DISH TV subscribers.”
If it was so “valuable and important” why did Tegna pull their feed from Dish customers for months?
Ummmmmm….. GREED, that why.
FTVLive will have more on the pending sale announcement on Monday’s edition.
