Nexstar Local Stations Including New York’s WPIX, Cable’s NewsNation Go Dark On Optimum In Carriage Dispute
Two million subscribers of Optimum pay-TV systems are going without Nexstar Media Group local stations and cable network NewsNation due to a carriage dispute.
WPIX, the flagship CW station, is a significant part of the Optimum dispute given the pay-TV system’s heavy concentration in the New York Tri-State area. Along with New York, markets with at least 10% penetration by the local Nexstar affiliate on Optimum include Greenville, NC; Lubbock, TX; Alexandria, LA; Hartford, CT; Clarksburg, WV, according to a person familiar with the system map. New York sports network MSG, TV home of the NBA’s Knicks and the NHL’s Rangers, went dark on Optimum at the start of 2025 in a dispute that is continuing.
