Nexstar launched in early March a daily coronavirus stream that is available on the websites for its 115 stations and on social media. Nexstar’s MyNetworkTV affiliate KRON-TV San Francisco organizes the stream, with daily contributions from NBC affiliate WFLA Tampa, Fox affiliate KTVI St. Louis, and its Washington, D.C. bureau. A resource page made available to stations includes CDC data, a timeline, and a video module with the latest clips on international news. Here are examples from stations:
CBS affiliate KELO Sioux Falls, S.D.
NBC affiliate WAVY-TV Norfolk, Va.
NBC affiliate KARK Little Rock
NBC affiliate WFLA Tampa
