IRVING, Texas, WILKES BARRE/SCRANTON, and PLAINS, Pennsylvania (November 11, 2009) – Nexstar Broadcasting Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXST) and New Age Media, LLC announced today that WBRE-TV, the Nexstar owned NBC affiliate and WOLF-TV the New Age owned FOX affiliate, both serving the Wilkes Barre/Scranton market, have entered into a multi-year agreement whereby WBRE will produce a 10:00 p.m. newscast for WOLF-TV FOX56, beginning January 1, 2010.  Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

The new agreement will mark an end to WOLF-TV’s nineteen-year news production relationship with another broadcaster and the start of a new alliance with WBRE-TV, to address the evolving dynamic of local advertiser and viewer demands for new and unique television news programming in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Pennsylvania market.  The daily FOX branded news will include more news features, local weather and sports as well as celebrity interviews and behind the scenes stories and will be produced by the staff of WBRE-TV.
