Description: NXST Nexstar Broadcasting November 07, 2025

Nexstar Media Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXST) is a diversified U.S. media company that creates and distributes local and national news, sports, and entertainment across television and digital platforms. It owns or operates more than 200 TV stations and several radio properties, providing programming, sales, and ancillary services to affiliates of major broadcast networks such as ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS, and The CW.

Key performance indicators from the most recent fiscal year (2023) show revenue of roughly $4.7 billion, an adjusted EBITDA margin near 20 %, and a station portfolio that reaches about 70 % of U.S. households. Digital advertising, driven by the company’s own websites, mobile apps, and over-the-top (OTT) properties, now accounts for roughly 15 % of total ad sales and is growing at double-digit rates year-over-year, reflecting the broader industry shift toward programmatic and addressable advertising.

Strategically, Nexstar operates the national cable news network NewsNation and the Chicago-based radio station WGN-AM, while also managing a suite of digital multicast networks and consumer-review platforms such as BestReviews. Its real-estate holdings-including office and production facilities-provide ancillary cash-flow and give the firm flexibility to monetize under-utilized assets.
