Earlier in September, on the 9th, TEGNA filled the News Director role at WWL-TV as the integration of its assets with Nexstar Media Group's broadcast television stations continued to face regulatory scrutiny regarding a potential "quadopoly" in the Crescent City. This followed Nexstar Media Group's August 6, 2026, report of record second-quarter net revenue totaling $1.99 billion, a 62.2% year-over-year jump, with $697 million of that total attributed to the TEGNA acquisition which Nexstar completed in March.
