Acquisition Creates a Nexstar Duopoly in Nation's 19th Largest TV Market and Political Battleground State
Station Will Become a CW Affiliate on September 1, 2025
Nexstar Media Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXST#NASDAQ">NXST</a>), today announced that it has agreed to acquire the assets of WBNX-TV/TV55 in Cleveland, Ohio, from the Winston Broadcasting Company. The acquisition will create a duopoly for Nexstar in the nation's 19th largest television market, where the company already owns and operates WJW-TV (FOX).
WBNX-TV is currently an independent television station and will, under Nexstar's ownership, become an affiliate of The CW Network on Sept. 1, 2025. The transaction, subject to regulatory and other customary approvals, is expected to close in 2025 and will be accretive to Nexstar's operating results pro forma for the conversion to a CW affiliation. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Nexstar Media Group To Expand Presence In Cleveland With Acquisition Of WBNX-TV/TV55; Financial Terms Of The Transaction Were Not Disclosed

Investors in Nexstar Media Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nxst#NASDAQ">NXST</a>) need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the Dec 20, 2024 $95 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today.
<h2>What is Implied Volatility?</h2>
Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy.
<h2>What do the Analysts Think?</h2>
Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for Nexstar Media shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, Nexstar Media is a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) in the Broadcast Radio and Television industry that ranks in the Top 41% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, no analyst increased the earnings estimates for the current quarter, while one has dropped the estimates. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from $5.89 per share to $5.51 in that period.
Given the way analysts feel about Nexstar Media right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there&#39;s a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected.

<li>I Don't Care: 22.6%</li>
</ul>
None of the three answers received over 50% in the poll, but it was yes that came away as the clear winner with 42.9% of the result.
This means that Beniznga readers appear to be interested in future interviews and debates happening on X.
The Musk/Trump interview — which took place about three months before <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">the 2024 presidential election</a> — spanned <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40328821/trump-and-musk-interview-covers-everything-from-failed-assassination-attempt-to-kamala-harriss-no-ta">a variety of topics</a>: electric vehicles, artificial intelligence, politics, immigration and Russia.
Millions of listeners tuned into the three-hour conversation. At the time of writing, the Spaces has 28.5 million listeners and the <a href="https://x.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1823144316014911820">post </a>on X has been seen 267 million times.

</ul>
Why It's Important: The conversation with Trump and Musk was not the first 2024 election-themed Spaces event.
Musk previously hosted Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/23/05/32581204/desantis-declares-presidential-bid-with-musk-on-twitter-spaces-social-media-becomes-pivotal-">used the platform to announce</a> his entry into the 2024 presidential race. 
Like the Trump event, it was also marred <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/23/05/32564924/desantis-announces-2024-presidential-run-lauds-elon-musks-commitment-to-free-speech">by glitches and delays</a>. 
Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40330138/elon-musk-says-hes-happy-to-host-kamala-on-x-after-trump-interview-vice-presidents-team-says-it-was">has since invited </a>Vice President Kamala Harris to interview on the platform as well.
"Happy to host Kamala on X Spaces too," Musk said.
Harris' campaign team seemed to deny the invite with a response.
"Trump's entire campaign is in service of people like Elon Musk and himself — self-obsessed rich guys who will sell out the middle class and who cannot run a livestream in the year 2024," the KamalaHQ account on X said.
Many X users have said that there should be a presidential debate held on the social media site, rather than on a traditional television network where there could be bias and hidden agendas (X-owner Musk is a major <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39804113/exclusive-elon-musk-is-burning-his-own-blue-bridges-by-donating-to-trump-says-market-expert">Trump donor and supporter</a>).
Trump and Harris <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/08/40265985/trump-vs-harris-2024-presidential-election-candidates-agree-to-sept-10-debate-could-more-faceoff">have agreed to</a> a presidential debate with Walt Disney Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) owned ABC on Sept. 10. Trump was hesitant to accept this media outlet as he has a pending lawsuit with the media company and believes he will be treated unfairly.
NewsNation, which is a unit of Nexstar Media Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXST#NASDAQ">NXST</a>), has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/08/40170953/trump-vs-harris-presidential-debate-dilemma-solved-media-outlet-pitches-alternative-that-would-s">pitched hosting a debate</a> that would come from a non-partisan media company.
The first 2024 presidential debate was watched by 47.9 million people and set records for CNN. Viewership for the debate was down from the first debates of the 2016 and 2020 elections.
While some candidates may be against doing interviews or debates on X, the social media platform could represent one of the future mediums of politicians to connect with potential voters.
