Pursuant to Rule 461 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Nexstar Broadcasting Group, Inc. and Nexstar Broadcasting, Inc. (the “Registrants”) hereby request acceleration of the effective date of their Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File Nos. 333-184743 and 333-184743-01), as amended (the “Registration Statement”), to 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on Monday, November 26, 2012 or as soon thereafter as practicable. The Registrants hereby acknowledge their responsibilities under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as they relate to the proposed public offering of the securities specified in the above-referenced Registration Statement. In addition, the Registrants acknowledge that:
• | should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; |
• | the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Registrants from their full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and |
• | the Registrants may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. |
Please contact Jason Zachary of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, special counsel to the Registrants, at (212) 446-4844, as soon as the Registration Statement has been declared effective, or if you have any other questions or concerns regarding this matter.
