Nexstar to Stream Live News? (Updated)

Update: FTVLive readers in the Bay Area tell us that KRON has been streaming their newscast across their app. While most Nexstar stations wait 2 hours to stream their news, KRON is one of the few that doesn’t.

Nexstar might be backing off their delay of streaming live newscasts, at least for one station anyway.

Nexstar is putting The CW on KRON in San Francisco. Nexstar owns the station and The CW, so it makes sense that they would make that move.

Check out this promo (:51 seconds in) and they talk about streaming KRON’s newscasts to the app. It sounds as if the newscasts would be streamed live and not delayed as Nexstar is doing with their others stations.

Maybe, they are going to delay it and just not saying it in the promo.

But, one of the stupidest moves Nexstar has ever made is delaying live newscasts for 2 hours. Maybe there are coming to their senses on that (I doubt it).
