All of Nexstar’s 200 owned or partner television stations, NewsNation, The CW Network, and WGN Radio AM 720 in Chicago have helped raise close to $1.5 million to date to support relief efforts related to Hurricane Helene. ? Donations will aid several charitable organizations assisting victims of the storm, including the American Red Cross, United Way, and the Salvation Army, among others. ? The fundraising drive, which began last week, will continue this week as Hurricane Milton heads toward the Florida coast with the potential to be even more severe than Helene.? ? Among the more notable efforts: ?? WJHL-TV in Tri-Cities, TN, raised more than $700,000 in partnership with the local chapter of United Way. ?? WIVB/WNLO-TV (Nexstar Media Group) in Buffalo, NY, held a telethon that generated more than $165,000 in donations to the American Red Cross. ?? The Nexstar Charitable Foundation contributed $25,000 to the American Red Cross last week. ? In addition, across all of its local stations and television networks, Nexstar has so far helped raise more than $325,000 in contributions from viewers to the American Red Cross. ? “Since its founding nearly 30 years ago, Nexstar has always been committed to giving back to the communities in which it operates,” said Nexstar’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Perry Sook.?“We take great pride in being able to assist those directing the hurricane recovery efforts in the southeastern region of the United States, and to make it easy for our viewers, listeners, and users to come to the aid of those impacted by Hurricane Helene and possibly Hurricane Milton.” ? https://lnkd.in/gfXVAnyX
