               Soliciting Materials filed pursuant to Rule 14a-12
               Filed February 28, 2020 by Standard General L.P., et al.
               File No. 001-06961

Dear Mr. de Wied:

       We have reviewed the above-captioned filing and have the following
comment.

1. We note your assertion that TEGNA's board of directors does not have a
single independent
   director with industry operating experience. This appears to conflict with
TEGNA's
   disclosures that its board is comprised of "industry leaders" with
"significant experience" in
   broadcasting. With a view toward enhanced disclosure in future filings,
please provide us
   with the factual foundation for your assertion about the board.

                                               *   *   *

      Please direct any questions to me at (202) 551-7951. You may also contact
Daniel
Duchovny, Special Counsel, at (202) 551-3619.


                                                            Sincerely,

                                                            /s/ Joshua Shainess
