“As we have grown, the reach of Big Tech and legacy media conglomerates has expanded exponentially,” Nexstar Media Group founder and Chairman/CEO Perry Sook shared in prepared comments that accompanied the company’s first quarter 2026 earnings results. “Today, we still do not match their ubiquitous reach, and we operate with only a fraction of their resources, which directly impacts our ability to compete.”
That’s why Sook steadfastly believes Nexstar’s acquisition of TEGNA, being challenged in two federal appeals court cases, “is a critical step in solidifying our future and ensuring we can continue providing these essential services to the public.”
