(“TEGNA”), as described in File No. SES-T/C-20190620-00803 (the “Transfer Application”). The Transfer Application was filed on June 20, 2019, and placed on public notice as accepted for filing on July 24, 2019. 1 The Transfer Application is part of a broader transaction (the “Dispatch Transaction”) pursuant to which TEGNA will assume control of the broadcast television and radio stations owned by Applicant and related entities that comprise the Dispatch Broadcast Group.
