Great breakdown of Nexstar’s fundamentals and its strategic durability in a changing media landscape. It is interesting to see Nexstar’s quiet dominance in a sector everyone assumes is dying. Quick question, though. Do you see any reputational or operational risks for Nexstar related to its involvement with the preemptive suspension of The Jimmy Kimmel Show a while back?

Thanks, glad you found it interesting! And great question about the Kimmel show.

Honestly, I don't see it as a major long-term issue for Nexstar. These kinds of programming spats pop up, get some buzz, then usually blow over once things are sorted. Nexstar is so big, temporary absence of one show isn't really going to move the needle on their overall business in my opinion.

True. That's one reason why Nexstar showed up in the news recently, but I'm sure few people even remember the name now.
