It was a big day for our parent company, the Nexstar Broadcasting Group. A 10 year anniversary was celebrated in a big way.
Perry Sook, the Chairman, President and CEO rang the opening bell at the Nasdaq market site on Times Square in New York City. A decade ago this week Nexstar Broadcasting Group went public. "Since we started the company in Wilkes-Barre -Scranton in 1996 with one television station it's amazing to think we have grown to a group of 102 stations around the country," said Sook.
Sook believes that success comes from a focus on the communities it serves and the employees who go above and beyond. "It would not be possible without hard work of over 3,000 employees and while Nexstar is the company name we are really a collection of local businesses serving local communities in 20 states around the United States."
The market likes what it sees. Steven Brown is manager of Nasdaq's market intelligence desk. "They've done well. Their stock is up 245 percent over last 10 years it reached all time high this past Friday. The success of the Nexstar Broadcasting Group was shown in a very big way on the Nasdaq tower on Times Square," said Brown.
