@jeremyjojola Sad and worried for all of you at @9NEWS today -- and for all of us who know the deep value of robust local news.

Nearly everyday I either walk or run around the neighborhood lake at sunrise. And like always, the sun is always there, even though there may be cloud cover or storms.
This morning I woke up to news the broadcast company I work for, TEGNA, has struck a deal to be sold to Nexstar, which owns FOX31 in Denver. This deal still has to be approved by the FCC. If approved, this will likely mean change.
In life, change is inevitable and in this industry, I’ve been blessed over my 27 years in news to have a career I’ve enjoyed. Whatever happens, I am fully embracing the fact I have a beautiful family and good health to meet the unknown. I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know I am blessed and that the sunrise is also inevitable.
