Cease to Resist
Nexstar : The SSA King Nexstar may not be a household name, but it’s built a mini empire in the nation’s small- to mid-sized media markets. Nexstar got its start in 1996 when, shortly after selling most of its broadcast portfolio to Sinclair, ABRY Partners backed industry veteran Perry Sook’s purchase of WYOU, Scranton, Penn.’s ABC affiliate.67 From this purchase, Nexstar was born. Though Sinclair invented outsourcing agreements, Nexstar was the first company to realize their full potential. Sook set up Mission Broadcasting as a shell company to help Nexstar evade FCC rules and form duopolies in markets that already had very few independent voices.68 This strategy helped grow Nexstar from a single station in 1996 to 95 stations in 51 markets as of September 2013 (see Figure 15). Nexstar’s portfolio includes 32 stations operated under SSAs, 28 of which are owned by Mission. Though Mission remains Nexstar’s primary shell company, it uses another shell — Rocky Creek Communications —to allow it to form triopolies in certain markets.69 There are many similarities between how Nexstar and Sinclair use shell companies. Nexstar runs all of Mission’s stations. Nexstar guarantees all of Mission’s debt.70 Nexstar is considered the owner of Mission and all of its assets — including its FCC licenses — under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and SEC rules.71 Mission sends all of its revenues to Nexstar, and Nexstar covers any losses.72 Thus, Mission’s “owners” receive only a nominal fee for their participation in this shell game, while Nexstar’s owners are lavishly compensated.73 And as with Sinclair’s shell Cunningham, Mission’s founding CEO had another profession — in this case, as a preacher at an Ohio church.74 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 67 Harry A.
