Broadcasting Stocks

The Walt Disney Co.'s fiscal first quarter of 2022 ended on January 1. How did the company do in its first three months of the fiscal year? As CEO Bob Chapek sees it, "We’ve had a very strong start to the fiscal year." Thank Encanto and a rise in streaming portfolio subscriptions for that positive news. The company's linear networks saw lackluster results.

The fourth-quarter earnings calendar for broadcast media companies is coalescing, and the latest company to confirm when it is sharing its results is The E.W. Scripps Co.

For Q4 2021, iHeartMedia is going with a pre-market release on a Wednesday. Is it a sign that the nation's No. 1 audio content creation and distribution company is poised to report some of its best-ever numbers?

Can anything stop Nexstar Media Group from achieving a fresh all-time high for its stock? A new peak was reached on Wednesday. As a result, share value in the nation's top broadcast television company by station count is up $114.88 since March 2020.

The company led by Caroline Beasley and publicly traded on the Nasdaq Global Markets exchange has decided when it will release its fourth-quarter and full-year results for 2021. It will be the first Q4 report in the broadcast sector to be released, based on the current schedule.

The nation's largest broadcast television station company's board of directors wants it. Now, it is being put in the hands of its shareholders. Two classes of Nexstar Media Group common stock face extintion.

Nexstar Media Group’s Board of Directors have taken an action that’s become something of a rarity in the broadcast media world.

Gray Television has decided when it will host a conference call to discuss its operating results for the quarter ended December 31, 2021.

With Beasley poised to release its Q4 and full-year 2021 fiscal results within the next 2 weeks, BBGI is showing particular weakness on the Nasdaq market. As of midday Wednesday, a new 52-week low was taking shape. At the Closing Bell, a 1-cent gain was eked out.

Until late September, all seemed particularly strong for iHeartMedia's stock price. By October, however, worries about the Delta, and Omicron, variants of the COVID-19 virus accelerated, creating new concerns. Ups and downs for IHRT were seen, but it has been a bumpy ride on the Nasdaq GlobalSelect market since the start of 2022.

This week, Nexstar shared just how much it stands to reap from ATSC 3.0, and Wall Street responded. On Thursday, both Gray Television and Scripps benefited from the rosy forecast, too. Friday, however, brought dips for the latter two groups while NXST continued its stellar growth.

Is Netflix so powerful that it is impervious to anything negative offered by a respected financial analyst? That appeared to be the case on Friday, as shares in the dominant on-demand visual content creator and distributor rose by nearly 3% before cooling off as the Closing Bell approached. The growth came despite a notable investor note of wariness.

For the first time, 16 NBA teams will see their games offered live via over-the-top streaming on an authenticated and direct-to-consumer (DTC) basis. 

The owner of radio stations in small- and mid-sized markets known for its programmatic and local digital solutions will see its CEO and CFO appear at a virtual event scheduled for January 19-20.

The nation's No. 1 owner of broadcast TV stations in early November saw its share price surpass the $168 mark. By December 20, 2021, however, some may have wondered if Nexstar Media Group shares had peaked, as values dipped under $143.50 per share. With today's stellar trading session, those worries can be soundly erased.
