Good day and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Q2 2024 TEGNA Inc. Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After the speakers' presentation, there will be a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions]. Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. I would now like to hand the conference over to your first speaker today, Kirk von Seelen. Please go ahead.
Kirk von Seelen
Thank you. Good morning and welcome to our second quarter 2024 conference call and webcast. My name is Kirk von Seelen and I'm TEGNA's Treasurer. Today, our President and CEO, Dave Lougee, and our CFO, Julie Heskett will review TEGNA's second quarter performance and results and provide TEGNA'S full-year and third quarter outlook. After that, we'll open the call for questions. Hopefully, you've had the opportunity to review this morning's press release. If you've not yet seen a copy of the release, it's available at tegna.com.
Before we get started, I'd like to remind you that this conference call and webcast includes forward-looking statements and our actual results may differ. Factors that may cause them to differ are outlined in our SEC filings. This presentation also includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. We have provided reconciliations of those measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the press release.
With that, let me turn the call over to Dave.
Dave Lougee
Thank you, Kirk, and good morning, everyone. First, let me begin by saying what a privilege it's been leading this great company for the past seven years. We've gone through a lot together, and I'm proud to have worked closely with you, the investment community, as well as my colleagues across TEGNA.
My successor, Mike Steib, will say a few brief words before opening up for Q&A. I'm set to advise Mike and the team during this transition and I look forward to watching him take the company forward to new heights. Mike's very eager to get started, but his first official day is not until next week, so I'll kindly ask that you hold off another quarter before peppering with questions. I'll begin this morning by discussing our second quarter results and providing an update on recent wins. I'll then pass it to Julie to highlight our financial performance and capital deployment strategy in more detail.
