Nexstar Media Group, Inc. (NASDAQNXST) and Altice USA NYSE: ATUSNYSEATUS)

For weeks, Optimum and MSG Networks have been negotiating continued carriage on Optimum systems. Over the last two weeks, Optimum hosted MSG Networks’ executives in its offices twice and hosted multiple calls trying to find a solution that would bring MSG Networks’ content to fans and prevent non-viewers from having to pay for what they do not watch. MSG Networks has refused all offers. Perhaps MSG Networks is purposely trying to tank the deal to get customers to pay three times more for their own app AND save the Sphere by bankrupting MSG Networks?

Optimum calls on Nexstar, the owner of multiple broadcast stations across the country, to put its viewers first and stop driving up TV prices for consumers. While Nexstar continues to make unreasonable demands that are not in line with the reality of today’s TV landscape, Optimum is at the forefront of fighting for customers’ rights while bringing them affordable video solutions to keep costs down.

Altice USA (NYSEATUS) will host a conference call on Thursday, February 13, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. ET to discuss financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024. The conference call will be led by Dennis Mathew, Chairman and CEO, and Marc Sirota, CFO. Presentation materials, including Altice USA’s earnings release, earnings results presentation and trended schedule, will be available at 7:00 a.m. ET, prior to the conference call, on the Altice USA Investor Relations website.

Despite Optimum’s best efforts to reach a fair and reasonable agreement with Nexstar, the owners of multiple broadcast stations, their content has been removed from Optimum TV lineups, effective 5:00PM ET today.

Optimum issues the following statement about customer friendly options available to customers:
