Nexstar Ends Live Streams of TV Stations’ Newscasts

They will be THE ONLY one to do this as LIVE streaming newscasts are the industry standard. NBC, CBS, ABC & Fox O&O stations all their newscasts online SOMEWHERE (Be in on their own individual apps or (In the case of CBS & Fox) on a platform where they're all grouped together)
MANY stations owned by others INCLUDING CW affiliates do this too. What are they going to do about AFFILIATES streaming THEIR newscasts live?? Pull their affiliation?? 🤣😂 Yeah right
Someone should tell Nexstar that...
1). Their plan isn't going to work
2). It's JOURNALISTIC SUICIDE
3). They will lose online viewers EVEN IN THEIR LOCAL AREAS (I'm sure Apollo & Standard would LOVE to have their viewers)
4). It will hurt APP DOWNLOADS (Where Live newscasts are A MUST)
5). They will LOSE Smart TV owners who are APARTMENT DWELLERS who have cut the cord & DEPEND on Smart TV Apps for news because they can;t just stick an outdoor antenna outside )I fall into THIS category)
And that list only civers what I can think of off the top of my head. Care to add to it?? Feel free
