List of stations owned or operated by Nexstar Media Group
The Nexstar Media Group is the largest owner of television stations in the United States, currently owning or operating a total of 197 television stations across the United States, many of which are affiliates of the four major U.S. television networks and are located in markets as large as Los Angeles and as small as San Angelo, Texas. It also operates all of the stations owned by affiliated companies, such as Mission Broadcasting, White Knight Broadcasting, Vaughan Media, and Super Towers, under local marketing agreements.[1][2][3][4]
The following stations listed below are either owned and operated by Nexstar, or controlled by Nexstar through management services agreements (MSAs) with affiliated companies like Mission Broadcasting and Shield Media, among others, to comply with current FCC ownership limits.[5] Until November 2015, Nexstar also held the license of one station which was operated by Sinclair Broadcast Group through an MSA. Most of the stations Nexstar owns and operates were acquired through acquisitions of Quorum Broadcasting in 2003,[6] Newport Television in 2012, Communications Corporation of America in 2015, Media General in 2017,[7] and Tribune Media in 2019.
Each Nexstar cluster also operates its own news website, though many stations owned by Nexstar before the Media General merger do not use their station branding or call letters in the addresses, choosing to use a slogan related to their area instead. Despite this, in all cases, all call letter-specific addresses are retained by Nexstar and redirect to a station's site for familiarity to site visitors and to discourage cybersquatting. The Media General and Tribune stations acquired by Nexstar (the Media General deal also included Frankly, which provides platform software and CMS services for many television station websites) have all retained their previous addresses, including call letter-specific addresses, and as a direct result of the deal, some Nexstar stations have resumed using call-only addresses. Slogan web addresses have generally been deprecated across the broadcast industry with the rise of social media, specifically due to fake news 'local news' websites which also use slogan addresses which are easily confused with real broadcast stations.
Formerly, Nexstar stations also maintained separate deal of the day sites on the .biz domain with paid "ask the experts" sections and advertorial sections, though the decline of the local deal of the day business model, along with wariness of viewers of .biz sites from its association with spam marketing saw these sites eventually close when the Media General deal closed.
