(Nasdaq: NXST) (the “Company”) will host a live Town Hall meeting with Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Thursday, August 15, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. CT.

The event will take place at the University of Texas at Tyler R. Don Cowan Fine and Performing Arts Center (UT Cowan Center).

The Town Hall event will open with a ten minute question and answer session between Governor Abbott and the moderators, followed by approximately fifty minutes of questions from the live local audience. Nexstar’s local Texas station operations in twelve markets will deliver extensive Town Hall coverage across the state while bringing more opportunities for voters to ask Governor Abbott questions about local matters that are impacting their communities. Immediately following the Town Hall, a member of the Texas Democratic leadership will deliver a response to constituents.

The pre- and post-Town Hall specials will be hosted by Josh Hinkle of KXAN-TV, who serves as the executive producer and host of “State of Texas,” a weekly program focused on the Texas Legislature and elections. All participating stations will live-stream the both programs on their respective websites, with additional real-time engagement throughout the event on stations’ respective social media channels.
