Searching @denverpost archives for a project I’m working on and just stumbled upon such a perfectly written headline, I had to snap it! Sadly, my project is not @Broncos related though

"Tegna-Nexstar megamerger drama has national implications, but seismic impact on Denver news: Combining newsleaders 9News and Fox31 already has triggered a lawsuit and concerned experts — and not just because of what might happen to Kyle Clark" coloradosun.com/2026/03/26/t… . Good story by former 9NEWSer Nicole Vap

It’s wild to watch pillars of local news be disassembled in real time.
CBS News says it is shutting down its storied radio news service after nearly 100 years of operation as part of a round of layoffs, blaming a shift in radio station programming strategies and challenging economic times. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/cbs…

A monumental shift in the local news landscape is coming to a tv near you (in Denver). 9News & FOX31 are now owned by the same company. The two newsrooms are expected to operate under one roof. I’d guess the physical merger will happen over the next few months.
The Trump administration has approved the acquisition of 9NEWS' parent company, TEGNA, by Fox31's parent company, Nexstar. Nexstar issued a statement praising President Trump, who says the deal will "help knock out the Fake News." Nexstar has declared itself "the anti-fake news"
