CircleSeven 1955 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Nexstar is now involved in a new lawsuit, against one of its own sidecars. Marshall Broadcasting Group. From the release: Quote Since selling three television stations to Marshall Broadcasting Group (MBG) in 2014, Nexstar Broadcasting Inc. (Nexstar) has actively worked to undermine MBG and its stations, according to the lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York this morning. The suit seeks to make MBG whole from Nexstar's disingenuous and damaging actions – bringing to light Nexstar's effort to sabotage MBG's business and eventually buy back the stations for pennies on the dollar. In 2014 Nexstar sold three stations (KPEJ-TV, KMSS-TV, KLJB-TV) to MBG. Nexstar was forced to sell the stations due to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations and chose MBG as a buyer, believing that the FCC would look favorably upon MBG's status as a minority-owned business. While the FCC was led to believe that the sale would further the commission's objective of increasing ethnic diversity in ownership of broadcast stations, as soon as the arrangement was inked Nexstar sought to sabotage and undermine MBG's operations to decrease its worth. "It has become clear that our only value to Nexstar was diversity optics at the FCC," said MBG president and CEO Pluria Marshall Jr. "Ever since the deal was signed, Nexstar has gone to great lengths to constantly interfere, undercut our authority and sabotage our business, with little regard for the agreements in place with us or the FCC."

KPEJ probably has little value but KMSS and KLJB probably could stand on their own.

Big Country News 435 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 KMID ditched their building for KPEJ's. Would be interesting to know who owns KPEJ's building.

TheRolyPoly 2415 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I really liked both website looks that Nexstar has put out recently. This new one, IMO, is slightly better than the old one. I would use this on any website I make because its that good.

tyrannical bastard 3951 Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 Wasn't there some kind of lawsuit over the web address when NBC sold to Media General? NBC4i.com rolls off much better than NBC4Columbus.com. WRC already had NBC4.com in the bag. All I know is I'm forever grateful that Nexstar stopped changing the names of their websites to what they had been doing (CrappyLocalProud.com) 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12826-nexstaragain/page/53/#findComment-227818 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could call it "columbus4.com" (since CMH is the Columbus airport code for those who don't know), but you'd be surprised how many people will botch the spelling of Columbus. NBC4i is easy and if you have an easy domain name, you keep it.

Georgie56 3304 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Scott Jones reports that all stations must allocate 20% of staff to "Digital First" positions by the end of August. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2019/6/13/exclusive-nexstar-stations-to-reallocate-staff-to-digital Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12826-nexstaragain/page/53/#findComment-227869 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRob 937 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) By my rough count, we would have to reassign around three more people to achieve that digital-first mantra. We already have a lot of people who are titled "multi-platform" and report to the digital content manager. I could see it being difficult for those mid-market stations that produce a lot of news, but don't have the resources to devote to a lot of web content. Personally I would start at ten percent and maybe assign a different reporter each day to be the "digital reporter of the day."
