CBS17 / FOX8 WGHP
U.S. local TV news, centrist-to-mildly-right corporate ownership
CBS17 and FOX8 are local TV news brands owned by Nexstar Media Group, a publicly traded broadcaster. Their coverage is mostly local news, weather and crime, with a generally neutral tone and little national commentary. Nexstar's corporate record shows it works closely with the Trump administration's FCC on regulatory matters, but that has not clearly shaped these stations' local coverage.
