In Jacksonville, Fla., TEGNA brands its NBC and ABC affiliates serving the northeast Florida metropolis as “First Coast News,” owing to nearby St. Augustine. Both stations air shared newscasts, and have been a “duopoly” since a November 1999 decision by Allbritton Communications to sell the NBC-affiliated property to Gannett.
Today, that station is owned by TEGNA, and it is asking the Commission to give it an digital-era upgrade.
