Luckily, Allison Girvin, Senior Director of Streaming, is on Team TEGNA to help navigate this new and ever-changing landscape.\u00a0 <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Girvin was key in launching <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tegna.com\/advertise\/tegna-stations-are-going-over-the-top-with-new-streaming-apps-what-does-this-mean-for-advertisers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TEGNA\u2019s 2.0 Streaming+ apps<\/a> to 64 stations in 51 markets in May 2022, replete with fresh content available to stream 24\/7. Girvin identified that viewers crave more TEGNA streaming content outside local news, weather, sports, lifestyle shows, and investigative specials. To help meet this consumer need, Girvin stood up a team responsible for creating central content for all TEGNA\u2019s stations, each with its unique needs. This includes parenting content such as <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">MomSquad <\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">(out of WKYC in Cleveland), a feel-good series, <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">HeartThreads<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, and lifestyle shows such as <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Cooking With Styles<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> (out of CBS 8 in San Diego).\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">On top of content creation, Allison and her team create breaking news content that all TEGNA stations can insert between newscasts.
