Live sports, auto spend drive strength for TV station owners in mixed ad market
U.S. TV station owners are experiencing a mixed advertising market, with local, auto, and sports programming showing strength, while national spot spending declines. The auto category is rebounding from pandemic-related issues, and local ad clients are maintaining their spending levels. Station groups like Gray Television, E.W. Scripps, Nexstar Media Group, Sinclair, and TEGNA anticipate fourth-quarter gains in core advertising. Live sports programming is also contributing to advertising success, with Nexstar's The CW securing rights for various sports and Scripps benefiting from local NHL deals. Technology is being leveraged to navigate soft spots in the market, with Sinclair refining its ad sales platform and using AI for client prospecting. However, TEGNA's core advertising was impacted by the loss of a national account for its OTT ad business, Premion.
