Happy Wednesday! Chelsea here.

There's no better day than Wednesday to treat yourself, am I right? And in the summer, in Columbus, there's no better way to do that than to enjoy one of our many fine frozen treat establishments. We've got every form of ice cream you can imagine, plus lots of fun things like gelato, frozen yogurt, and even ice cream that looks like Papa Smurf! Make a little time for yourself to enjoy something today. And if you need suggestions on what that special something is, we've got you covered!

10TV Sold For $535 million 💸

The Dispatch Broadcast Group has sold 10TV, along with WBNS radio, 97.1 FM, 1460 AM, and a television and radio station in Indiana,

in a $535 million deal with Tegna

. Tegna consists of Gannett's old broadcast media and digital media divisions, which were spun off into Tegna in 2015. This means there's no longer a locally owned television station in Columbus. Longtime Columbus residents will also note that it marks the end of the Wolfe family media empire. The Wolfe's now

own nothing but real estate in Columbus

, when previously they owned the Columbus Dispatch, WBNS-TV and much more.

Jim Siegel

Horrible to hear that Columbus Dispatch statehouse reporter

passed away yesterday at age 46

. Doing this newsletter has exposed us all at Navigator to local journalism in a very in depth way, and Siegel stood out with a rare talent for being able to break down complex issues into easy to understand pieces, particularly when it came to the labyrinthine state budget. Condolences to his family and to the Dispatch.
