A federal court has issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting further integration of Nexstar and TEGNA, and Nexstar also committed to divest six stations within two years if required under FCC rules.

Nexstar Media Group, Inc. is asking stockholders to vote at its June 16, 2026 annual meeting on four key items: electing nine directors, an advisory vote on executive pay, ratifying PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as auditor for 2026, and approving a new 2026 Long-Term Omnibus Incentive Plan.

The proxy highlights governance moves such as declassifying the board, one-share/one-vote, stricter stock ownership guidelines, an SEC-compliant clawback, and a policy to separate the Chair and CEO roles after founder Perry Sook’s tenure.
