These stations are either owned and operated by Nexstar (some under the Mission Broadcasting brand), or controlled by Nexstar under a LMA with either Sinclair Broadcast Group or Newport Television. Most of the stations Nexstar owns and operates were acquired through the acquisition of Quorum Broadcasting in 2003. Many of these stations are licensed under the Mission Broadcasting brand, operated under Local Service Agreements with Nexstar to comply with current FCC ownership limits.[1] Many viewers of Nexstar owned or operated stations have complained that these stations have lagged far behind other stations in those markets in beginning high definition broadcasting. They also have a mandate for their TV station websites not to be named for the station, but for their local area, as almost every station they own has a local slogan.
