Most of the senior corporate management team at local TV giant TEGNA has left the company as the legal battle over its merger with rival Nexstar continues.
One of the leadership moves — Fox stations vet Patrick Paolini’s start on Monday as CEO, succeeding Mike Steib — was reported earlier this week by Deadline. Other execs leaving, either in recent days or by early June, include CFO Julie Heskett; Chief Strategy Officer Ed Busby and Chief Experience Officer Dhanusha Sivajee, according to a person familiar with the departures.
Paolini is understood to be planning to replace certain key members of the top team, especially in certain highly specific areas of specialty. At the station level, TEGNA is continuing to operate as normal.
