TEGNA reinfornces local news commitment with new streaming newscasts


This is part of the move for Tegna to adapt to the streaming age for all their owned stations.

Local television broadcast TEGNA is launching new, two-hour newscasts on nearly three dozen local TV stations this month.

The newscasts will run from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. each weekday, during the same time slot as network-owned shows like “Today” on NBC and “Good Morning America” on ABC.


With the broadcast signals occupied by network news, TEGNA will distribute its live local newscasts on its streaming apps and websites. TEGNA will also offer the live newscasts on third party platforms like Local Now and Fox-owned Tubi where its news streams are available.

Three TEGNA-owned NBC affiliates — KGW (Channel 8) in Portland, WCNC (Channel 36) in Charlotte and WKYC (Channel 3) in Cleveland — began offering the 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. newscasts earlier this year as part of a test run.
