Gannett will buy 20 Belo TV stations

Gannett will buy Belo for $2.2 billion. That will increase Gannett’s TV stations from 23 to 43. The deal is expected to close by the end of 2013.

Belo spun off its newspapers, which include Dallas Morning News, Providence Journal and Riverside, California Press-Enterprise, as a separate company called A.H. Belo in 2007.

This acquisition comes not long after Media General announced plans to merge with the New Young Broadcasting Company. The combined company will own 30 stations.
