NEXSTAR BROADCASTING AND MISSION BROADCASTING ANNOUNCE

LAUNCH OF TENDER OFFER AND CONSENT SOLICITATION OF 8.875% SENIOR

SECURED SECOND LIEN NOTES DUE 2017

Irving, TX – September 17, 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 commenced a cash tender offer and consent solicitation with respect to the Issuers’ outstanding $325,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.875% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2017 (the “Notes”). The tender offer and consent solicitation is being made subject to the terms and conditions set forth in an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement and a related Letter of Instructions, each dated as of September 17, 2013, which more fully sets forth the terms and conditions of the tender offer and consent solicitation. The tender offer and consent solicitation will expire at Midnight, New York City time, on October 15, 2013, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Issuers (the “Expiration Time”).

Holders who validly tender (and do not validly withdraw) their Notes on or prior to the consent payment deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 30, 2013 (the “Consent Payment Deadline”), and whose Notes are accepted for payment, will receive 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. Following payment for the Notes accepted pursuant to the terms of the tender offer, the Issuers currently intend, but are not obligated, to redeem any and all Notes that remain outstanding. This tender offer does not constitute a notice of redemption or an obligation to issue a notice of redemption.

Holders who validly tender (and do not validly withdraw) their Notes after the Consent Payment Deadline, but on or prior to 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.

Holders who tender Notes on or prior to the Consent Payment Deadline may withdraw such Notes at any time on or prior to the Consent Payment Deadline.

In connection with the tender offer, the Issuers are also soliciting consents from the holders of the Notes for certain proposed amendments that would eliminate substantially all restrictive covenants, certain events of default and certain related provisions contained in the indenture governing the Notes. In addition, the proposed amendments will provide for the release of the liens on the collateral that secures the Issuers’ and the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes. Adoption of the proposed amendments with respect to the Notes requires the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, except that adoption of the proposed amendments with respect to the release of the liens on the collateral requires the consent of the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes. Holders who tender their Notes will be deemed to consent to all of the proposed amendments and holders may not deliver consents to the proposed amendments without tendering their Notes in the tender offer.

Provided that certain customary conditions to the tender offer, including a financing condition, have been satisfied or waived by the Issuers, the Issuers will pay for Notes purchased in the tender offer, together with accrued interest, on either the first settlement date or the final settlement date, as applicable. Holders of Notes that have been validly tendered and accepted by the Issuers by the Consent Payment Deadline will receive the Total Consideration and will be paid on the first settlement date, which is expected to be promptly after satisfaction of the financing condition and following the Consent Payment Deadline, provided that all other conditions to the offer have been satisfied or waived at such time. Holders of Notes that have been validly tendered and accepted by the Issuers after the Consent Payment Deadline, but on or prior to the Expiration Time, will receive the Tender Consideration only, and will be paid on the final settlement date, which is expected to be promptly after the date on which the Expiration Time occurs.
