Nexstar stations (incl several in TX) for sale

based on the Rabbit Ears list, this could be an unusual opportunity for London Broadcasting to fill in small/medium TX markets where it doesn't already have a station (the company has been into acquisitions since it formed a few years ago). If they took all but the Beaumont station (KBTV/4)--since London already has a Beaumont station, they'd be represented in all of small/medium TX except Sherman/Denison/Ada and the Rio Grande Valley/Laredo....assuming London would be interested in any of Nexstar's stations and if Nexstar would be interested in piecemeal deals.

London Broadcasting had an agreement in place three or four years ago to buy the Drewry stations in Texas (KFDA Amarillo, KWES Midland-Odessa, and KXXV Waco) but the deal fell through. Would be interesting if the Nexstar NBC and Fox stations in Amarillo (KAMR and KCIT) wound up with London after the failure to get KFDA. Similar situation in Waco as Nexstar owns KCEN, and in Midland-Odessa with KMID (which ironically was once a sister station of KFDA.)

I never heard exactly why the previous sale fizzled, but I assume it was because the economy was tanking at the time, and financing may have evaporated.

Financing is everything.
