Tegna Completes Purchase of Sander Stations

Tegna completed its buy of three Sander Media TV stations, it said in a news release Thursday. The stations are KGW Portland, Oregon; WHAS-TV Louisville; and KMSB Tucson. The FCC approved the transfers and a nine-month temporary waiver of the local TV ownership rule last month (see 1511230051). The deal is connected with the Gannett/Belo transaction.
