Industry News

In an announcement made just after 4:30pm Eastern on Thursday, Gray Media confirmed that it has reached an agreement to acquire two stations that it has been operating via shared services agreements with the licensee.

After a brutal morning that saw Paramount Global shares fall to $11.55, the company's stock recovered somewhat to dampen a dip that preceded the release of its Q2 2025 earnings report. The activity ahead of the second quarter earnings release also saw Paramount's Chief Content Licensing Officer resign.

Until now, he's served as General Manager of two TV stations serving Idaho's Magic Valley. Starting September 1, he'll be relocating to Monroe, La., to take on a similar role for a pair of Gray Media-owned siblings.

With the majority of the broadcast media industry's Q2 earnings reports due to arrive over the next two weeks, could the widely diverse fiscal health results seen from a variety of companies today be a harbinger of what to expect? If so, beware: Sirius XM's earnings per share missed expectations by more than 26%.

Hartley Adkins, the iHeartMedia Markets Group President and one of the company’s key senior executives, is retiring. That news was first shared Wednesday. One day later, it became known through a second staff memo that his successor has been named, and she's taking the role as of September 1.
