Meredith Corp. has agreed to sell its local TV stations, which are housed in its Local Media Group, to Gray Television for a revised $2.825 billion instead of the originally set $2.7 billion price …

. Its local TV business includes 17 TV stations reaching 11 percent of U.S. households and 30 million viewers.The separation of TV and magazines at Meredith, led by chairman and CEO Tom Harty, continues a more than decade-long trend of media companies separating their print/publishing and television assets.

In 2013, Rupert Murdoch split his company News Corp. in two, separating its U.S. TV businesses into 21st Century Fox. In 2015, Gannett spun off its local TV business into Tegna, while keeping its legacy TV newspaper business.
