KGW
U.S. center
KGW is the NBC affiliate on channel 8 in Portland, Oregon, now owned by Nexstar Media Group after its acquisition of TEGNA closed in 2026. Independent media-bias trackers — including Media Bias/Fact Check and AllSides — rate it as center with high factual reliability. Its coverage of the Trump administration follows a broadly neutral, fact-focused approach typical of a local NBC affiliate.
Owned byNexstar Media Group (acquired KGW from TEGNA Inc. in a $6.2 billion deal that closed in early 2026, though a coalition of eight states, including Oregon, has challenged the merger's integration in court)
