MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 27, 2018--
TEGNA Inc. (NYSE: TGNA) today announced that it has identified system
issues that affected certain 2018 “Premium Audience Selects” targeting
segments and determined that they had not been delivered correctly. The
issue has been resolved and Premion has implemented new ad operations
processes as a result.
The company has begun notifying its customers and is offering a full
refund for the affected “Premium Audience Selects” 2018 campaigns that
ended on or before November 30, 2018. The impacts of this issue are
immaterial to TEGNA’s total 2018 company results, although it affects up
to approximately 17 percent of Premion’s total revenue for 2018.
Premion campaigns that do not include “Premium Audience Selects”
targeting are not affected by this issue.
