Nexstar Media Group and Mission Broadcasting on Thursday reached a four-year agreement to renew the existing NBC Television Network affiliations of their stations in 21 markets across the country. Collectively, these stations reach approximately 11.4% of U.S. television households, or about 12.5 million homes.
The new affiliation agreements cover 18 Nexstar owned stations, including two recent acquisitions, and three Mission stations. The previous affiliation agreements were set to expire in December 2019.
Commenting on the agreement, Nexstar Media Group President and CEO, Perry A. Sook said: “We are proud to again partner with NBC. Our new affiliation agreements recognize the value of the network’s broad range of compelling news, sports, and entertainment programming, and reflect the importance of our stations to NBC and to the viewers of the local communities we serve.
