TEGNA

TEGNA Inc. is an American broadcast, digital media, and marketing services company headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, operating as a subsidiary of Nexstar Media Group following FCC approval of the $6.2 billion acquisition in March 2026. TEGNA operates 64 full-power broadcast television stations across 51 U.S. markets, reaching approximately 39 percent of all television households. Its digital marketing portfolio includes AudienceOne first-party data targeting, OTT/CTV advertising through the Premion platform, and the TEGNA Marketing Solutions full-service agency. TEGNA runs no public developer program and publishes no developer portal: those advertising products are transacted through insertion orders, programmatic deal IDs and agency contracts. The only publicly callable, machine-readable API surfaces TEGNA serves are the WordPress REST content APIs behind its corporate site and premion.com; the Premion advertising platform API at api.premion.com is live but token-gated and undocumented.

TEGNA publishes 3 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Broadcasting, Media, Television, Digital Advertising, and OTT.

The TEGNA catalog on APIs.io includes 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

TEGNA’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, support, engineering blog, and 33 more developer resources.

scored 2026-11-13 · rubric v0.28.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
