- Expansion of CW Network affiliation to five additional Nexstar stations
- Increased coverage to over 45% of U.S. TV households through 54 Nexstar- and partner-owned CW stations

This expansion of The CW Network's reach through Nexstar's stations is a strategic move in the evolving media landscape. By increasing coverage to over
For investors, this move could translate to increased ad revenue opportunities across both linear and digital platforms. The expansion into smaller markets (DMAs 110-171) may also help capture untapped audience segments. However, the impact on Nexstar's bottom line will depend on the performance of The CW's content in these new markets and the network's ability to monetize its expanded reach effectively.
The inclusion of NASCAR Xfinity series and WWE's NXT in The CW's lineup is a significant development. These high-profile sports properties, along with LIV Golf and college sports, create a robust sports offering that could attract a loyal, engaged audience. This move aligns with the trend of networks investing in live sports content to combat declining traditional TV viewership.
For Nexstar, this diverse sports package could be a strong differentiator in local markets, potentially driving higher ad rates and viewership. However, the success will hinge on how well these sports resonate with the specific demographics in the new affiliate markets. The addition of The CW App as a free, ad-supported platform also opens up new digital monetization avenues, catering to the growing trend of streaming consumption.
