Nexstar Media Group is one of the largest local TV station operators in the country. With the reach of 171 full power television stations in 100 markets addressing nearly 38.7% of US television households, and a diversified, growing digital media operation, Nexstar Media Group offers superior audience engagement across all media devices and local broadcast television’s unrivalled influence on consumers’ purchasing and political decisions. With the purchase of Scranton, PA station WYOU in 1996, broadcast industry veteran and current Nexstar Chairman, President and CEO, Perry A. Sook, founded Nexstar and began building the foundation of what 22 years later has become one of the largest portfolios of local broadcast television stations in the United States. The company went public in 2003 shortly after acquiring Quorum Broadcasting and other stations that doubled Nexstar’s station portfolio.
