Nexstar beats expectation games

Nexstar Broadcasting, owner of KSNF in Joplin and KSFX in Springfield and de facto owner of KODE and KOLR, still lost money during the last three months, but did better than expected, according to the quarterly report filed Thursday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The company had anticipated a 31 cent per share loss, but only lost 26 cents, according to the report.
Nexstar's stock increased 15 cents during trading Wednesday from $5.65 to $5.80 per share.

I'm sure part of Nexstar's success lies in the fact that they don't run fake news, unlike our local Fox station

What do you call those Kent Faddis pieces? Last time I checked he works for MU, not KSN.

To the Fake News Comment and that Nexstar doesn't do that. First, WCIA, the Nexstar Station in Champaign, IL also ran the VNR in question. It was on the web site the writer referred to. Secondly, how many more Health segments from local hospitals are we going to see that are written and planned by the hospitals but voiced by Nexstar talent. All part of a deal for advertising money. The article about VNR's (video News releases) never mentions anyone receiving any money or advertising for airing them. Even what the Champaign Nexstar station and local FOX did are far less offensive than having us sit through another alledged news story crafted by some local advertiser yet presented by a Nexstar newsperson.
