The deal must be approved by the Federal Communications Commission and is contingent on the successful completion of the merger of our parent company, Media General and Nexstar Broadcasting.

"This is an exciting time in our business with many, many changes, adds Kelly.   "It's been an honor to be part of such a historic company like Media General. Now we look forward to becoming part of another highly respected organization in Graham Media.  While our ownership may change, our commitment to you remains the same.  You will continue to see the same familiar faces delivering the news of the day and giving back to the community we call home."
