At its one-year anniversary, Tegna is reporting media revenues were up 10% in the second quarter of 2016 over the year before, primarily due to political and retransmission money.
The division’s total Q2 revenue of roughly $459 million included $10.2 million in political dollars, up 273% from the same period of time in 2015. Retransmission revenue rose 33% to $145.8 million, according to the company.
