NEXSTAR BROADCASTING AND MISSION ANNOUNCE RECEIPT OF REQUISITE

CONSENT FOR CONSENT SOLICITATION FOR SENIOR SECURED SECOND LIEN

NOTES DUE 2017

Irving, TX – October 1, 2013 — Nexstar Broadcasting Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXST) (the “Company”) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nexstar Broadcasting, Inc. (“Nexstar Broadcasting”) and Mission Broadcasting, Inc. (“Mission” and together with Nexstar Broadcasting, the “Issuers”), have received, pursuant to their previously announced cash tender offer and consent solicitation for any and all of the outstanding $314,575,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.875% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”), the requisite consents to adopt proposed amendments to the indenture, under which the Notes were issued, that would, among other things, eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain events of default and certain related provisions contained in the indenture (collectively, the “Base Amendments”) and provide for the release of the liens on the collateral that secures the Issuers’ and the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes (the “Collateral Amendments” and together with the Base Amendments, the “Amendments”). Pursuant to the indenture under which the Notes were issued, adoption of the Collateral Amendments required the consent of holders of at least 75% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes.

As reported by the depositary, tenders and corresponding consents have been delivered with respect to $292,688,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes (representing 93.04% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes), which Notes had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 30, 2013 (the “Consent Payment Deadline”). As a result, the requisite consents have been obtained with respect to all of the Amendments.

In conjunction with receiving the requisite consents, the Issuers, the Company, the guarantors party thereto, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee and collateral agent, executed a first supplemental indenture with respect to the indenture governing the Notes effecting certain amendments that would implement the Amendments. The first supplemental indenture became operative upon acceptance of the Notes for purchase by the Issuers pursuant to the terms and conditions described in the Statement (as defined below).

The tender offer and consent solicitation are being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the related Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated September 17, 2013 (the “Statement”). Holders who validly tendered their Notes and delivered their consents on or prior to the Consent Payment Deadline are eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration (as defined below). A holder’s right to validly withdraw tendered Notes and validly revoke delivered consents expired on the Consent Payment Deadline.

The Issuers’ obligation to accept for purchase and to pay for Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and consents validly delivered, and not validly revoked, pursuant to the tender offer and consent solicitation, was subject to and conditioned upon the satisfaction of or, where applicable, the Issuers’ waiver of, certain conditions, including a financing condition. As of October 1, 2013 these conditions have been satisfied and the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Consent Payment Deadline were accepted for purchase by the Issuers.

Holders who validly tendered (and did not validly withdraw) their Notes on or prior to the Consent Payment Deadline received total consideration equal to $1,088.75 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (the “Total Consideration”), plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes up to, but not including, the first settlement date. The Total Consideration includes a consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (the “Consent Payment”).

Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Consent Payment Deadline, but on or prior to Midnight, New York City time, on October 15, 2013, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Issuers (the “Expiration Time”), and whose Notes are accepted for payment, will receive the tender consideration equal to $1,058.75 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (the “Tender Consideration”), plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes up to, but not including, the final settlement date. Holders of Notes who tender after the Consent Payment Deadline will not receive a Consent Payment.

Any Notes not tendered and purchased pursuant to the tender offer will remain outstanding and the holders thereof will be bound by the amendments contained in the first supplemental indenture eliminating substantially all restrictive covenants, certain events of default and certain related provisions contained in the indenture and provide for the release of the liens on the collateral that secures the Issuers’ and the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes even though they have not consented to the amendments.
