Tegna Inc, founded in 2015, is a Media & Communication company based in McLean, United States. Its latest reported headcount is 6,200 employees (2023). Its directors and officers file their transactions with SEC (Form 4). In the past year (18 October 2025 to 18 October 2026), 20 filings came from 13 insiders.
None of the filings is a plain purchase or sale on the open market; they cover grants, option exercises and other movements. Compensation-driven entries like these are tracked, but they say little about how insiders judge the share price.
Across the 5,816 companies tracked on its exchange, the median is 19 filings; at 20 filings, this issuer sits above that mark. The full history, which starts in 2016, counts no purchases against 16 sales. For the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, the annual 10-K puts revenue at 2.71 bn USD and net income at 219.9 m USD, and the dividend at 0.50 USD per share.
There has been no open-market purchase by an insider of Tegna Inc for at least a year. Typically, a trade is published a median of 4 days after it takes place. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4.

TEGNA Inc. (NYSE: TGNA) is a U.S.-based local media company focused on local news, broadcast television, and related digital products and services. Listed on the NYSE in the United States, TEGNA traces its roots to Gannett and has evolved into a local-first, multi-platform media operator headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, near Washington, D.C. For international investors, the stock is best understood as a local-audience monetization business with exposure to advertising demand, retransmission/distribution economics, and the ongoing shift in how consumers access news and video.
TEGNA’s core asset base consists of 64 television stations across 51 U.S. markets, reaching more than 100 million people on average each month across web, mobile apps, streaming, and linear television. The company’s stations are affiliated with major national networks including NBC, CBS, ABC, and FOX, while TEGNA also invests in its own local content, especially news, weather, and community-oriented coverage. That combination gives the company scale, recurring local reach, and access to both national network inventory and high-value local advertising opportunities.
Competitive positioning in this industry is shaped by a fragmented but highly competitive media landscape. TEGNA faces pressure from digital ad migration, audience fragmentation, and periodic retransmission negotiations, yet it benefits from a meaningful footprint in larger markets and from the stickiness of local news consumption. The company has been emphasizing digital transformation, mobile product expansion, and broader local coverage, including more hours of programming and stronger distribution across connected TV, mobile, and station websites.
Recent developments have been especially important for the investment case. In 2025, TEGNA announced a multi-year renewal with FOX Corporation covering six markets, helping secure key affiliation relationships. Later in 2025, the company also entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Nexstar Media Group in a $6.2 billion transaction, a clear signal that TEGNA’s station portfolio is strategically valuable in a consolidating U.S. broadcast sector. In early 2026, TEGNA continued rolling out new mobile and digital news initiatives aimed at increasing engagement and strengthening local audience habits.
Overall, TEGNA remains a U.S. local-media operator with a defensible position in community news, but one that is still sensitive to advertising cycles and structural changes in media consumption. The company’s NYSE listing and U.S. market exposure make it particularly relevant for investors seeking a broadcast-media asset with both transformation upside and M&A optionality.
