Nexstar owns a long list of ABC-affiliated stations across the U.S., and the exact lineup can change over time due to sales, swaps, and affiliation changes. As of the most recent public information, Nexstar’s ABC portfolio spans both major and smaller markets, but you’ll need to cross-check specific stations against Nexstar’s current station directory to avoid outdated or incomplete info.

Key point: no simple one-line list

There is no single short, permanent list of “which ABC stations Nexstar owns” because:

  • Nexstar owns or partners with 200+ TV stations in 100+ markets, covering multiple networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CW, etc.).
  • Individual station affiliations and ownership can change when companies buy or sell stations or when ABC moves its affiliation in a market.
  • Some ABC stations are directly owned by Nexstar, while others are operated through shared services or similar agreements.

Because of those moving parts, any static, fully enumerated list risks being incomplete, which you explicitly wanted to avoid.

Examples of Nexstar ABC markets

Public coverage and industry reporting highlight some of the better-known ABC affiliates under Nexstar’s umbrella in cities such as:

  • Nashville, Tennessee (ABC affiliate owned by Nexstar).
  • New Orleans, Louisiana (ABC affiliate owned by Nexstar).
  • Salt Lake City, Utah (ABC affiliate owned by Nexstar).
  • Smaller markets including Evansville, Indiana, and Binghamton, New York, among others.

These examples illustrate the mix of larger and mid‑sized markets where Nexstar holds ABC affiliations.

How to get a complete, up-to-date list

To avoid an incomplete answer, the most reliable way to see all current Nexstar-owned ABC stations is:

  1. Go to Nexstar’s official station directory on its corporate site, which lists all owned and partner stations and their network affiliations.
  1. Filter or scan for stations whose primary affiliation is ABC. Many stations clearly label the network (e.g., “ABC,” “NBC,” “CBS”) next to their call sign and market.
  1. Cross-reference any list you find in news articles or wikis with that official directory, since third-party lists can lag behind recent deals or swaps.

If you’d like, tell me a specific city or state, and I can help you narrow down whether Nexstar owns the ABC affiliate in that particular market, while keeping things as current and accurate as possible using those sources.
