Nexstar Media Foundation Announces Honorees for Day Seven of “30 Days of Giving” Initiative

Life by Music and GenerationNation Named as Recipients of $5,000 Grants

Irving, TX (June 7, 2026) - Nexstar Media Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXST), today announced that the Nexstar Media Charitable Foundation is making a $5,000 contribution to both Life by Music and GenerationNation as part of the company's "30 Days of Giving" initiative, a month-long program recognizing and supporting nonprofit and charitable organizations serving communities across Nexstar's nationwide footprint.

"30 Days of Giving" is an employee-driven initiative created to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Nexstar's founding in June 1996. Locally-led committees reviewed submissions from Nexstar's 13,000 employees and selected charitable and nonprofit organizations to nominate for grants. More than 100 organizations were nominated, and the Nexstar Charitable Foundation's Board of Directors chose 60 to receive $5,000 each. Every day during the month of June, the Foundation will award two $5,000 grants; by the end of the month the Foundation will have committed $300,000 to "30 Days of Giving."

The Foundation today recognized Life by Music and GenerationNation as recipients of $5,000 grants. The organizations were nominated by the employees at KLAS-TV and WJZY-TV, the Nexstar television stations serving Las Vegas, NV, and in Charlotte, NC, respectively.
