Nexstar Broadcasting makes deal with company to provide material for websites

Nexstar Broadcasting has reached an agreement with a newly-formed company to provide material for its websites, but it does not appear that the move will increase local content a bit.
The following news release was issued by Nexstar today:

- Nexstar Broadcasting Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXST) announced today that it engaged Dallas-based Noofangle Media, Inc., to provide professionally produced, original editorial content for its 29 local market websites. By leveraging its national network of respected journalists, Noofangle Media will provide Nexstar with engaging, topical content packaged in platforms that are easily incorporated into Nexstar's existing online offerings. As the content is integrated onto each respective market's website, Noofangle Media's seasoned editors and writers will continuously refresh the new platforms to keep them timely, topical and interesting. Nexstar and Noofangle's innovative collaboration will re-define the way professionally produced lifestyle content is distributed online.

Nexstar recently announced the launch of its company-wide, environmentally friendly "nexstarGREEN" initiative. To support the company's commitment to corporate responsibility, the first platform to be launched will be Noofangle Media's "Green Right Now(TM)" (www.greenrightnow.com). This will be closely followed by Noofangle's online shopping magazine "Shopperati(TM)" (www.shopperati.com) and the popular list service "GetListy(TM)" (www.getlisty.com).

Nexstar Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Perry A. Sook commented, "Nexstar is dedicated to identifying and deploying new and innovative channels for providing high-quality content to our viewers and visitors to the web portals we have developed in all of our markets. Noofangle complements Nexstar's focus on delivering consumers quality content that makes our multi-media platform even more attractive to our advertising partners creating a win-win situation for our communities and content partners."

Noofangle Media President, Marc Montoya stated, "We are delighted to provide Nexstar with original, relevant editorial content that readers will enjoy and advertisers will find attractive to enhance their brands and promotions. While user-generated content gets much of the buzz on the Internet, there is a huge demand for high-quality, professional content on the web from both consumers and advertisers. We look forward to working with Perry Sook and Senior Vice President, New Media, Rajiv Lulla to extend the noteworthy success of the Company's new media initiatives."
