Tegna Media, formerly Gannett Broadcasting will carry the show in over 20 markets including Atlanta, Cleveland, Dallas and Denver.
“During the show’s test run this summer, Jakes’ audience grew each week in every market. Once viewers found him, they liked him and we look forward to introducing him to a wider audience next fall,” said President of Tegna Media, Dave Lougee.
