The stations are affiliates of ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS, The CW, MyNetworkTV and other broadcast television networks. As of December 31, 2016, the stations reached approximately 20.8&#160;million viewers or 18.1% of all U.S. television households. Through various local service agreements, Nexstar provided sales, programming and other services to 30 full power television stations owned and/or operated by independent third parties.</p> <p style="margin-bottom:0pt;margin-top:10pt;text-indent:4.54%;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-transform:none;font-variant: normal;">On January 17, 2017, Nexstar completed its merger with Media General, Inc., a Virginia corporation (&#8220;Media General&#8221;), whereby Nexstar acquired the latter&#8217;s outstanding equity in exchange for cash and stock, plus potential additional consideration in the form of a non-tradeable contingent value right (&#8220;CVR&#8221;). Following this transaction, Nexstar owns, operates, programs or provides sales and other services to 171 full power television stations in 100 markets, reaching approximately 44.7 million viewers or nearly 39% of all U.S. television households.

The more significant estimates made by management include those relating to the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, retransmission revenue recognized, trade and barter transactions, income taxes, the recoverability of goodwill, FCC licenses and other long-lived assets, the recoverability of broadcast rights and the useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets.

Cash deposits are maintained with several financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits; however, the Company believes these deposits are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and are not subject to any unusual credit risk. A significant portion of the Company&#8217;s accounts receivable is due from local and national advertising agencies. The Company does not require collateral from its customers, but maintains reserves for potential credit losses. Management believes that the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate, but if the financial condition of the Company&#8217;s customers were to deteriorate, additional allowances may be required. The Company has not experienced significant losses related to receivables from individual customers or by geographical area. </p></div>
