The nation's No. 1 audio content creation and distribution company concluded a long parade of companies presenting their fourth quarter 2024 earnings reports on Thursday. And while the day began with a sobering fiscal health review from Cumulus Media, industry peer iHeartMedia shared Q4 results that saw net income rise and adjusted EBITDA increase, too.

The company that boasts it is the parent to the largest podcast network in the world has signed a multi-year partnership with the government of Qatar, in the Middle East, with the intent of creating "a thriving podcasting industry" in the region and in nearby North Africa.

"Our fourth quarter financial results mark a strong finish to another successful year for Nexstar in which we delivered $5.4 billion in total net revenue — the highest in our company's 28-year history," Nexstar CEO Perry A. Sook said as he opened the company's Q4 earnings call. Was he downplaying Nexstar's fiscal health?

February 27 was originally poised to be a day full of conference calls detailing the fourth quarter 2024 results from four broadcast TV companies and two major radio broadcasting companies. One of those TV station ownership groups opted not to release its results on such a crowded day.
