               PRRN14A Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A
               Filed March 25, 2020 by Standard General L.P., et al.
               File No. 001-06961

Dear Mr. de Wied:

      We have reviewed the above-captioned filing and your response letter
dated March 25,
2020. We have the following comments.

Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A
Background of the Solicitation, page 4

1. We note your disclosure that "Standard General expected the TEGNA Board,
consistent with
   its fiduciary responsibility to maximize the value of shareholders'
investment, to pursue these
   offers vigorously and to give interested parties access to due diligence to
enable those parties
   the opportunity to develop their offers for the Company." Please revise your
disclosure to
   state the legal basis for your conclusion regarding how the board would need
to act to fulfill
   its fiduciary obligations in connection with any offers reported by the
media.

Matters to be Considered at the Annual Meeting, page 11

2. We note your response to prior comment 11 and that you are "soliciting
proxies to be used at
   the Annual Meeting for the election of each of the Standard General Nominees
and certain
   nominees of the Company." Please revise this disclosure and the information
on your form
   of proxy to comply with Rule 14a-4(d)(ii). Please be advised that to the
extent Standard
   General is seeking authority to vote for nominees named in TEGNA's proxy
statement,
   Standard General must represent that it will vote for all the registrant
nominees, other than
   those registrant nominees specified by Standard General. You may not solicit
proxies for
   persons who have not consented to be named and to serve, if elected, on your
proxy
   statement and proxy card.

3. We note your disclosures here and in the form of proxy that each of the
directors has
   consented to being named as a nominee "and has confirmed his or her
willingness to serve on
   the Board of Directors if elected." Please revise this disclosure to adhere
to the language set
   forth in Rule 14a-4(d)(1). For example, state that each of the directors has
consented to
   being named in the proxy statement and to serve if elected.
