The company owns or operates 68 television stations across 54 markets and holds properties in digital media.

Tegna also owns the digital multicast networks True Crime Network and Quest.
On April 2, 2026, broadcast giants Nexstar and Tegna urged a California federal judge to allow their $6.2 billion merger to proceed, contending that state attorneys general and DirecTV's challenges alleging harm are "generalized and speculative." They argued that DirecTV is merely attempting to maximize its leverage in future negotiations. This follows Nexstar's statement on April 1 that it could not fully comply with a temporary restraining order issued against its $6.2 billion merger with Tegna, citing actions already completed at closing and irreversible legal obligations.
