Pros

Maybe Nexstar will talk some sense into the bloated leadership and people who can barely use email

Cons

Incompetent Human Resources department; checked out CRO who can’t run a business to save his life; a content department that has NO CONTENT to produce because linear TV is dying; Premion is a joke and is just a DAI platform with the worst marketing team known to mankind
