Local TV broadcaster with 200+ stations and multi-platform content strategy
Nexstar operates a heavily localized broadcast network spanning 116 U.S. markets with over 200 stations, producing 316,000+ hours of programming annually. The hiring mix reflects an organization in transition: media roles dominate (291), but the company is hiring across sales (176) and news (127) while building a smaller engineering team (38), signaling a shift from pure broadcast infrastructure toward digital platforms and revenue diversification. Active projects center on streaming launches and newsroom restructuring, while pain points cluster around the operational friction of that pivot—FCC compliance, billing gaps, and the technical work of repurposing broadcast content for web and mobile.
Notable leadership hires: Director of Sales, Director, Sports Director, News Director, Production Director
