MISSION BROADCASTING, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Business Operations

As of
March 31, 2006, Mission Broadcasting, Inc. (Mission or the Company) owned and operated 15 television stations, 14 of which are affiliated with the NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox or UPN television networks and one of which is an
independent station, in markets located in New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Texas and Montana. Through local service agreements, Nexstar Broadcasting, Inc. (Nexstar) provides sales and operating services to all of the
Mission television stations (see Note 3).

The Company is highly leveraged, which makes it vulnerable to changes in general economic
conditions. The Companys ability to repay or refinance its debt will depend on, among other things, financial, business, market, competitive and other conditions, many of which are beyond its control, as well as Nexstar maintaining its pledge
to continue the local service agreements with the Companys stations.

On January 24, 2006, the owners of UPN and WB announced
that the two television networks will merge to form a new network called The CW. The Company operates one UPN affiliated station located in Wichita Falls, Texas. This UPN affiliated station will not be joining The CW network. Instead, this station
will become an affiliate of My Network TV, a new primetime programming network to be launched in September 2006. Management believes the change in affiliation for this station will not have a material impact on the Companys condensed financial
position and results of operations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Certain
prior year financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Interim Financial
Statements

The condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2006, and for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and
2005 are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair statement of the financial information included herein in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of the condensed financial
statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. The balance sheet at December 31, 2005 has been derived
from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 155, Accounting for Hybrid Financial Instruments  an amendment to of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (SFAS No. 155). SFAS No. 155 provides a fair value measurement option for
certain hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. Under SFAS No. 155, an entity must irrevocably elect, on an instrument-by-instrument basis, to apply fair value accounting to a
hybrid financial instrument in its entirety in lieu of separately accounting for the instrument as a host contract and derivative instrument. Additionally, SFAS No. 155 clarifies that both interest-only and principal-only strips are not subject
to the provision of SFAS No. 133 and establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding versus those that are embedded derivatives. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all
financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, which for the Company is January 1, 2007. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an
entitys fiscal year. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 155 beginning in fiscal 2007. The Company does not intend to issue or acquire the hybrid financial instruments included in the scope of SFAS No. 155 and does not
expect the adoption of this Statement to have a material impact on the Companys condensed financial position or results of operations.

3. Local Service Agreements with
Nexstar

Mission has entered into local service agreements with Nexstar to provide sales and operating services to all the Mission
stations. Under the terms of a shared services agreement (SSA), the Nexstar station in the market bears the costs of certain services including news production, technical maintenance and security, in exchange for monthly payments from
Mission to Nexstar. For each station that Mission has entered into an SSA, it has also entered into a joint sales agreement (JSA). Under the terms of the JSA, Nexstar sells the Mission stations advertising time and retains a
percentage of the net revenue it generates in return for monthly payments to Mission of the remaining percentage of net revenue. Under the terms of a time brokerage agreement (TBA), Nexstar programs most of the stations broadcast
time, sells the stations advertising time and retains the advertising revenue it generates in exchange for monthly payments to Mission. JSA and TBA fees generated from, and SSA fees incurred by Nexstar under the agreements described in the
table below are reported as Revenue from Nexstar Broadcasting, Inc. and Local service agreement fees associated with Nexstar Broadcasting, Inc. in the accompanying condensed statement of operations.

The arrangements under the SSAs and JSAs have had the effect of Nexstar receiving substantially all of the available cash, after debt service costs,
generated by the stations listed in the table. The arrangements under the TBAs have also had the effect of Nexstar receiving substantially all of the available cash generated by the TBA stations listed in the table. Mission anticipates that Nexstar
will continue to receive substantially all of Missions available cash, after payments for debt service costs, generated by the stations listed in the table.

Missions sole shareholder has granted Nexstar a purchase option to acquire the assets and assume the liabilities of each Mission station, subject to FCC consent, for consideration equal to the greater of
(1) seven times the stations cash flow, as defined in the option agreement, less the amount of its indebtedness as defined in the option agreement, or (2) the amount of its indebtedness. Cash flow is defined as income or loss from
operations, plus depreciation and amortization (including amortization of broadcast rights), interest income, non-cash trade and barter expenses, nonrecurring expenses (including time brokerage agreement fees), network compensation payments received
or receivable and corporate management fees, less payments for broadcast rights, non-cash trade and barter revenue and network compensation revenue. These option agreements are freely exercisable or assignable by Nexstar without consent or approval
by Missions sole shareholder.

these agreements, Mission is responsible for certain operating expenses of its stations and therefore may have unlimited exposure to any potential operating losses. Mission will continue to operate its stations under the SSAs and JSAs or TBAs until
the termination of such agreements. The SSAs and JSAs generally have a term of ten years. Nexstar indemnifies Mission from Nexstars activities pursuant to the local service agreement to which Nexstar is a party.

4. Property and Equipment

On February 8, 2006, President Bush signed into law legislation that establishes a February 17, 2009 deadline for television
broadcasters to complete their transition to digital transmission and return their analog spectrum to the FCC. As a result, the Company reassessed the estimated useful lives of its analog transmission equipment and has accelerated the depreciation
of certain equipment affected by the digital conversion. Equipment having a net book value of approximately $2.4 million as of February 1, 2006, which was previously being depreciated over various remaining useful lives which extend from 2013
to 2020, is now being depreciated over a remaining useful life of three years. This change will increase annual depreciation expense by approximately $0.6 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the accelerated depreciation of
analog transmission equipment increased depreciation expense and net loss by approximately $0.1 million.

5. Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Intangible assets subject to amortization consisted of the following:



|                                                |  |                               |       |                |                          |                   |   |         |   |       |   |                          |                |   |        |  |   |         |   |  |   |

The aggregate carrying value of indefinite-lived intangibles, consisting of FCC licenses and
goodwill, was $45.4 million at both, March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not subject to amortization, but are tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that such assets might be impaired. As of March 31, 2006, the Company did not identify any events that would trigger an impairment assessment.

The change in the carrying amount of goodwill for the periods ended March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was as follows:



|                  |  |                |        |              |   |

The consummation of the acquisition of WTVO during 2005 increased goodwill by approximately $0.3
million.

Total amortization expense from definite-lived intangibles for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 was $1.3
million and $1.6 million, respectively. The Companys estimate of amortization expense for definite-lived intangible assets recorded on its books as of March 31, 2006 is approximately $6 million for each year for the years of 2006 through
2009 and approximately $5 million for the year of 2010.

6. Debt

Long-term debt consisted of the following:



|                      |  |                |         |   |              |   |         |

6. Debt(Continued)

Senior Secured Credit Facility

The Mission senior secured credit facility (the Mission Facility) consists of a Term Loan B and a $47.5 million revolving loan. As of March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, Mission had $171.8
million and $172.3 million, respectively, outstanding under its Term Loan B and no borrowings were outstanding under its revolving loan.

The Term Loan B, which matures in October 2012, is payable in consecutive quarterly installments amortized at 0.25% quarterly, which commenced on December 30, 2005, with the remaining 93.25% due at maturity. The revolving loan is not
subject to incremental reduction and matures in April 2012.

The total weighted-average interest rate of the Mission Facility was 6.73% and
6.28% at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Interest is payable periodically based on the type of interest rate selected. Additionally, Mission is required to pay quarterly commitment fees on the unused portion of its
revolving loan commitment ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% per annum, based on the consolidated senior leverage ratio of Nexstar and Mission for that particular quarter.

Unused Commitments and Borrowing Availability

As of March 31, 2006, there were
approximately $47.5 million of unused commitments under Missions senior secured credit facility. As of March 31, 2006, there was approximately $10 million of total available borrowings that could be drawn under the Nexstar and Mission
senior secured credit facilities.

Collateralization and Guarantees of Debt

Nexstar Broadcasting Group, Inc. (Nexstars ultimate parent) and its subsidiaries guarantee full payment of all obligations under Missions bank
credit facility in the event of its default. Similarly, Mission is a guarantor of Nexstars bank credit facility and the senior subordinated notes issued by Nexstar. The bank credit facilities are collateralized by a security interest in
substantially all the combined assets, excluding FCC licenses, of Nexstar and Mission.

Debt Covenants

Missions bank credit facility agreement does not contain financial covenant ratio requirements, but does provide for default in the event Nexstar
does not comply with all covenants contained in its credit agreement.

7. Income Taxes

The Companys provision for income taxes is primarily comprised of deferred income taxes created by an increase in the deferred tax liabilities
position during the year resulting from the amortization of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for income tax purposes which are not amortized for financial reporting purposes. These deferred tax liabilities do not reverse on a
scheduled basis and are not used to support the realization of deferred tax assets. The Companys deferred tax assets primarily result from federal and state net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs). The Companys NOLs are
available to reduce future taxable income if utilized before their expiration. The Company has provided a valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets as it believes they may not be realized through future taxable earnings.

8. Management Agreement

Missions sole
shareholder and his spouse are parties to a management services agreement. Under this agreement, Mission pays its sole shareholder up to $0.375 million per year for certain management services and pays his spouse by the hour for certain management
services. Pursuant to the management services agreement, Mission paid compensation to its sole shareholder in the amount of $0.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, which is included in selling, general and
administrative expenses in the Companys condensed statement of operations.

9. FCC Regulatory Matters

Television broadcasting is subject to the jurisdiction of the FCC under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the
Communications Act). The Communications Act prohibits the operation of television broadcasting stations, except under a license issued by the FCC, and empowers the FCC, among other things, to issue, revoke and modify broadcasting
licenses, determine the location of television stations, regulate the equipment used by television stations, adopt regulations to carry out the provisions of the Communications Act and impose penalties for the violation of such regulations. The
FCCs ongoing rule making proceedings could have a significant future impact on the television industry and on the operation of the Companys stations. In addition, the U.S. Congress may act to amend the Communications Act in a manner that
could impact the Companys stations and the television broadcast industry in general.

Some of the more significant FCC regulatory
matters impacting the Companys operations are discussed below.

Digital Television (DTV) Conversion

FCC regulations required all commercial television stations in the United States to commence digital operations on a schedule
determined by the FCC and Congress, in addition to continuing their analog operations. All of the television stations we own and operate are broadcasting at least a low-power digital television signal and three television stations (WYOU, WUTR and
WTVO) are broadcasting with full-power digital television signals. The conversion to digital transmission required an average initial capital expenditure of $0.2 million per station for low-power transmission of a digital signal. Digital conversion
expenditures were $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.

On
February 8, 2006, President Bush signed into law legislation that establishes a February 17, 2009 deadline for television broadcasters to complete their transition to digital transmission and return their analog spectrum to the FCC. See
Note 4 for a discussion of the impact this new legislation is expected to have on the estimated useful lives of certain broadcasting equipment of the Company.

Full-Power DTV Facilities Construction

The FCC has released rules setting the dates by which
all television stations must be broadcasting a full-power DTV signal. Under these rules, stations affiliated with the four largest networks (ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox) in the top-100 markets were required to construct full-power DTV facilities by
July 1, 2005. All other stations are required to construct full-power DTV facilities by July 1, 2006. Stations that fail to meet these build-out deadlines, and that have not requested an extension of time from the FCC, will lose
interference protection for their signals outside their low-power coverage areas. As of March 31, 2006, Missions stations WUTR, WTVO and WYOU are transmitting full-power digital signals. Mission has filed a request for extension of time
to construct full-power DTV facilities for its top four network affiliates in the top one hundred markets. The FCC has not yet acted on this request for extension of time.

The Company will incur various capital expenditures to modify its remaining stations DTV transmitting equipment for full-power digital signal
transmission, including costs for the transmitter, transmission line, antenna and installation, and estimated costs for tower upgrades and/or modifications. The Company anticipates these expenditures will be funded through available cash on hand and
cash generated from operations as incurred in future years.

10. Commitments and
Contingencies

Guarantees of Nexstar Debt

Mission is a guarantor of and has pledged substantially all its assets, excluding FCC licenses, to guarantee Nexstars bank credit facility. Nexstars bank credit facility, which matures in 2012, consists of
a Term Loan B and a $50.0 million revolving loan.

Mission is also a guarantor of $200.0 million of 7% senior subordinated notes (7%
Notes) due 2014 issued by Nexstar. The 7% Notes are general unsecured senior subordinated obligations subordinated to all of Missions senior debt.

Mission guarantees full payment of all obligations incurred under Nexstars bank credit facility agreement and senior subordinated notes. In the event that Nexstar is unable to repay amounts due under these debt
obligations, Mission will be obligated to repay such amounts. The maximum potential amount of future payments that Mission would be required to make under these guarantees would be generally limited to the amount of borrowings outstanding under
Nexstars bank credit facility and the 7% Notes. At March 31, 2006, Nexstar had issued an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million of senior subordinated notes and had $170.9 million outstanding under its bank credit facility.

Purchase Options Granted to Nexstar

In consideration of Nexstar Broadcasting Groups guarantee of Missions bank credit facility, Missions sole shareholder has granted Nexstar a purchase option to acquire the assets and assume the
liabilities of each Mission station, subject to FCC consent, for consideration equal to the greater of (1) seven times the stations cash flow, as defined in the option agreement, less the amount of its indebtedness as defined in the
option agreement, or (2) the amount of its indebtedness. Cash flow is defined as income or loss from operations, plus depreciation and amortization (including amortization of broadcast rights), interest income, non-cash trade and barter
expenses, nonrecurring expenses (including time brokerage agreement fees), network compensation payments received or receivable and corporate management fees, less payments for broadcast rights, non-cash trade and barter revenue and network
compensation revenue. These option agreements are freely exercisable or assignable by Nexstar without consent or approval by Missions sole shareholder.

Indemnification Obligations

In connection with certain agreements that the Company enters
into in the normal course of its business, including local service agreements, business acquisitions and borrowing arrangements, the Company enters into contractual arrangements under which the Company agrees to indemnify the third party to such
arrangement from losses, claims and damages incurred by the indemnified party for certain events as defined within the particular contract. Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses and the maximum potential amount
of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification arrangements may be unlimited. Historically, payments made related to these indemnifications have been immaterial and the Company has not incurred significant costs
to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company is involved with claims that arise out of the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, any resulting
liability with respect to these claims would not have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.

11.
Subsequent Events

On April 18, 2006, Nexstar and Mission announced that they have filed an application with the FCC for consent
for Nexstar to sell KFTA-TV, Channel 24 (Ft. Smith, Arkansas) to Mission for $5.6 million. Pending FCC approval, and upon completion of the sale, Mission intends to provide Fox programming to serve the Ft. Smith-Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers,
Arkansas designated market area. Upon closing the purchase of KFTA, Mission plans to enter into a joint sales and shared services agreement with Nexstars KNWA-TV whereby KNWA will provide local news, sales and other non-programming services to
KFTA.

ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2006, unaudited condensed statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
2006 and 2005 and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Executive Summary

Overview of Operations

As of
March 31, 2006, we owned and operated 15 television stations. We have local service agreements with certain television stations of Nexstar Broadcasting, Inc. (Nexstar), through which Nexstar provides various programming, sales or
other services to our television stations. In order for both Nexstar and us to comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations, we maintain complete responsibility for and control over programming, finances, personnel and
operations of our stations.

The following table summarizes the various local service agreements our stations had in effect as of
March 31, 2006 with Nexstar-owned stations:



|                   |  |

---

|(1) | We have a time brokerage agreement (TBA) for each of these stations which allows Nexstar to program most of each stations broadcast time, sell each stations
advertising time and retain the advertising revenue generated in exchange for monthly payments to us.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) | We have both a shared services agreement (SSA) and a joint services agreement (JSA) for each of these stations. The SSA allows the sharing of services
including news production, technical maintenance and security, in exchange for Nexstars right to receive certain payments from us as described in the SSAs. The JSAs permit Nexstar to sell and retain a percentage of the net revenue from the
stations advertising time in return for monthly payments to us of the remaining percentage of the net revenue, as described in the JSAs.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The arrangements under the SSAs and JSAs have had the effect of Nexstar receiving substantially all of the available cash, after debt service costs, generated by the stations listed above. The arrangements under the
TBAs have the effect of Nexstar receiving substantially all of the available cash generated by the TBA stations listed above. Mission anticipates that Nexstar will continue to receive substantially all of Missions available cash, after
payments for debt service costs, generated by the stations listed above. For more information about our local service agreements with Nexstar, refer to Note 3 of our condensed financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q.

Nexstar Broadcasting Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Nexstar Broadcasting Group) guarantee the obligations
incurred under our senior credit facility. We are a guarantor of the senior credit facility entered into by Nexstar and the senior subordinated notes issued by Nexstar. In consideration of Nexstars guarantee of our senior credit facility, our
sole shareholder has granted Nexstar purchase options to acquire the assets and assume the liabilities of each of our television stations, subject to FCC consent. These option agreements are freely exercisable or assignable by Nexstar without
consent or approval by our sole shareholder.

Recent Developments

On January 24, 2006, the owners of UPN and WB announced that the two television networks will merge to form a new network called The CW. We
operate one UPN affiliated station located in Wichita Falls, Texas. This UPN affiliated station will not be joining The CW network. Instead, this station will become an affiliate of My Network TV, a new primetime programming network to be launched
in September 2006. Management believes the change in affiliation for this station will not have a material impact on our condensed financial position and results of operations.

As of March 31, 2006, we have completed multi-year retransmission consent agreements with all of the content distributors which carry our
stations signals in all 13 markets in which we broadcast.

On April 18, 2006, Nexstar and Mission announced that they have filed
an application with the FCC for consent for Nexstar to sell KFTA-TV, Channel 24 (Ft. Smith, Arkansas) to Mission for $5.6 million. Pending FCC approval, and upon completion of the sale, Mission intends to provide Fox programming to serve the Ft.
Smith-Fayetteville-Springdale-Rogers, Arkansas designated market area. Upon closing the purchase of KFTA, Mission plans to enter into a joint sales and shared services agreement with Nexstars KNWA-TV whereby KNWA will provide local news, sales
and other non-programming services to KFTA.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2005.

Revenue

Net revenue for the
three months ended March 31, 2006, increased by $0.2 million, or 3.0% from the same period of 2005. This increase was primarily attributed to the increases in revenue from Nexstar and cash compensation from retransmission consent agreements. As
of January 1, 2005, we receive no advertising revenue because Nexstar sells all of the advertising time of our stations.

Cash
compensation from retransmission consent agreements was $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to $0.1 million for the same period in 2005, an increase of $0.4 million, or 246.7%. The increase in cash compensation from
retransmission consent agreements was primarily the result of a significant increase in the number of retransmission consent agreements entered into with content distributors that provide for cash compensation, the majority of which were completed
in late 2005.

Revenue from Nexstar was $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to $6.7 million for the same
period in 2005, an increase of $0.3 million, or 4.5%. The increase was primarily attributed to an increase in the net revenue that Nexstar generated from selling all of the advertising of our stations, which in turn increased the revenue we earned
from Nexstar through the JSAs.

Operating Expenses

Corporate expenses, related to costs associated with the centralized management of our stations, were $0.2 million for both the three months ended
March 31, 2006 and 2005.

Station direct operating expenses, consisting primarily of news, engineering and programming, and selling,
general and administrative expenses, net of trade, increased by $0.1 million, or 10.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005. The increase was primarily due to higher programming costs relating to fees
attributed to the renewal of network affiliation agreements, along with an increase in fees for news services provided by the networks.

Local service agreement fees associated with Nexstar relate to the fees as designated by the SSAs for services provided in the production of newscasts, technical maintenance, promotional and administrative support. For the three months
ended March 31, 2006, these expenses decreased $0.9 million, or 31.6% from the same period in 2005. The decrease was primarily attributed to the amendment of certain SSAs effective January 1, 2006, which decreased our payments to Nexstar.

Amortization of broadcast rights, excluding barter, for the three months ended March 31, 2006, decreased by $0.1 million, or 13.2%
from the same period in 2005. The decrease was primarily attributed to broadcast rights being replaced with negotiated lower cost of broadcast programming.

Amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2006, decreased by $0.3 million, or 17.9% compared to the same period in 2005. The decrease was primarily the result of intangible assets at
certain stations becoming fully amortized.

Depreciation of property and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2006,
increased by $0.1 million, or 11.3%, compared to the same period in 2005. The increase was primarily attributed to accelerating the depreciation of certain assets due to the Companys reassessment of their estimated remaining useful lives.

Income from Operations

Income from operations was $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to $0.2 million for the same period of 2005, an increase of $1.5 million, or 839.9%. The increase in income from operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2006 was primarily attributed to the increase in total net revenue and decrease in local service agreement fees associated with Nexstar, as discussed above.

Interest Expense

Interest
expense, including amortization of debt financing costs, increased by $0.8 million, or 37.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributed to higher
interest rates and greater amount of debt outstanding in 2006 under our senior credit facility.

Income Taxes

Income taxes for both the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 were $0.3 million. Our provision for income taxes is primarily created by an increase in the deferred tax liabilities position during the year
arising from the amortizing of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for income tax purposes which are not amortized for financial reporting purposes. This expense has no impact on our cash flows. Based primarily on our recent
history of net operating losses, we do not consider the realization of our net deferred tax assets to be more likely than not. Accordingly, we have provided a full valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets excluding deferred tax liabilities
attributable to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. No tax benefit was recorded with respect to the losses for 2006 and 2005, as the utilization of such losses is not likely to be realized in the foreseeable future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are highly
leveraged, which makes us vulnerable to changes in general economic conditions. Our ability to meet the future cash requirements described below depends on our ability to generate cash in the future, which is subject to general economic, financial,
competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. On March 8, 2006, Nexstar represented to us that it will continue the various local service agreements under which it provides sales and other
services to our television stations thereby providing financial support to enable us to continue to operate as a going concern. We believe that our available cash, the residual cash flows we retain under the local service agreements with Nexstar and
available borrowings under our senior credit facility should be sufficient to fund working capital, capital expenditure requirements, interest payments and scheduled debt principal payments for at least the next twelve months. In order to meet
future cash needs we may, from time to time, borrow under our available credit facility. We will continue to evaluate the best use of our operating cash flow among capital expenditures, acquisitions and debt reduction.

Cash Flows  Operating Activities

The comparative net cash flows from operating activities decreased by $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the same
period in 2005. The decrease was primarily due to the timing of payments made to Nexstar.

Cash paid for interest increased by $0.8 million
during the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 due to higher interest rates and a greater amount of debt outstanding in 2006 under our senior credit facility.

Due to our recent history of net operating losses, we currently do not pay any federal income taxes. These net operating losses may be carried forward,
subject to expiration and certain limitations, and used to reduce taxable earnings in future years. Through the use of available loss carryforwards, it is possible that we may not pay significant amounts of federal income taxes in the foreseeable
future.

Cash Flows  Investing Activities

The comparative net cash used for investing activities decreased by $6.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the same
period in 2005. Cash flows from investing activities consist primarily of cash used for capital additions and station acquisitions. The decrease was due to a decrease in acquisition related payments.

Capital expenditures were $0.2 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.

There was no cash used for station acquisitions for the three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to $6.1 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2005. Acquisition related payments for the three months ended March 31, 2005 included the remaining payment of $5.75 million, exclusive of transaction costs, for the acquisition of WTVO.

The
comparative net cash flows used for financing activities increased by $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. The decrease was primarily due to an increase of $0.1 million in scheduled term
loan maturities under our senior secured credit facility.

Although our senior credit facility now allows for the payment of cash
dividends, we do not currently intend to declare or pay a cash dividend.

Future Sources of Financing and Debt Service Requirements

As of March 31, 2006, we had debt of $171.8 million, which represented 211.1% of our total capitalization. Our high level of
debt requires that a substantial portion of cash flow be dedicated to pay principal and interest on debt which will reduce the funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes.

The following table summarizes the approximate aggregate amount of principal indebtedness scheduled to mature for the periods referenced as of
March 31, 2006:



|                          |  |       |         |                  |   |           |  |           |       |            |   |       |  |   |

|(1) | Quarterly principal payments under our senior credit facility term loan commenced on December 30, 2005.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Interest payments on our senior credit facility are generally paid every one to three months and are payable based on the type of interest rate selected.

The terms of our senior credit facility limit, but do not prohibit us from incurring substantial amounts of additional debt in the future.

We do not have any rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity dates of our debt. However, a downgrade in our credit
rating could adversely affect our ability to renew existing, or obtain access to, new credit facilities in the future and could increase the cost of such facilities.

Collateralization and Guarantees of Debt

Nexstar Broadcasting Group, Inc. (Nexstars
ultimate parent) and its subsidiaries guarantee full payment of all obligations under our bank credit facility in the event of our default. Similarly, we are a guarantor of Nexstars bank credit facility and the senior subordinated notes issued
by Nexstar. The bank credit facilities are collateralized by a security interest in substantially all the combined assets, excluding FCC licenses, of Nexstar and us. As of March 31, 2006, Nexstar has a maximum commitment of $220.9 million under
its bank credit facility, of which $170.9 million of debt is outstanding, and had issued an aggregate principal amount of $200.0 million of senior subordinated notes.

Debt Covenants

Our bank credit facility agreement does not contain financial covenant ratio
requirements, but does provide for default in the event Nexstar does not comply with all covenants contained in its credit agreement.

Cash Requirements for Digital Television (DTV) Conversion

It will be expensive to convert our stations from the current analog format to the digital broadcast format. This conversion required an average initial
capital expenditure of approximately $0.2 million per station for low-power transmission of digital signal programming. All of the television stations we own and operate are broadcasting at least a low power digital television signal. Digital
conversion expenditures were $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

We
estimate that it will require an average capital expenditure of approximately $1.5 million per station (for 10 stations) to modify our stations DTV transmitting equipment for full-power digital signal transmission, including costs for the
transmitter, transmission line, antenna and installation, and estimated costs for tower upgrades and/or modifications. We anticipate these expenditures will be funded through available cash on hand and cash generated from operations as incurred in
future years. Stations that fail to meet FCCs build-out deadlines, and that have not requested an extension of the time from the FCC, will lose interference protection for their signals outside their low-power coverage areas. As of
March 31, 2006, our stations WUTR, WTVO and WYOU are broadcasting with full-power digital signals. We filed a request for extension of time to construct full-power DTV facilities for our top four network affiliates in the top one hundred
markets. The FCC has not yet acted on this request for extension of time.

No Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At March 31, 2006, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as
structured finance or variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We are, therefore, not materially exposed to any
financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (U.S. GAAP) which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial
statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to intangible assets, bad debts, broadcast rights, trade and barter, income taxes, commitments and
contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

Information with respect to our critical accounting policies which we believe could have the most significant effect on our reported results and require
subjective or complex judgments by management is contained on pages 32 through 33 in Part II, Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2005. Management believes that as of March 31, 2006 there has been no material change to this information.

Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 2 of our condensed financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for a discussion of the recently issued accounting pronouncements including our expected date of adoption and effects on results of operations and financial position.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are
reasonable, actual results could differ from this projection or assumption in any of our forward-looking statements. Our future financial position and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and
inherent risks and uncertainties, including those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements made in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made only as of the date hereof, and we do not have or undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances unless otherwise required by law.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our long-term debt obligations.

All borrowings at March 31, 2006 under our senior credit facility bear interest at 6.73%, which represented the base rate, or LIBOR, plus the
applicable margin, as defined. Interest is payable in accordance with the credit agreement.

The following table estimates the changes to
cash flow from operations as of March 31, 2006 if interest rates were to fluctuate by 100 or 50 basis points, or BPS (where 100 basis points represents one percentage point), for a twelve-month period:



|                       |  |                        |       |                            |   |                        |        |   |         |  |   |        |  |   |

|                       |  | (in thousands)        
|Senior credit facility |  | $                      | 9,846 |                            | $ | 10,705                 |        | $ | 11,565  |  | $ | 12,424 |  | $ | 13,283

Impact of Inflation

We believe that our results of operations are not affected by moderate changes in the inflation rate.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Mission
carried out an evaluation as of the end of the period covered in this report, under the supervision and with the participation of Missions management, including Missions president and treasurer (who is Missions principal executive
officer and principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Missions disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. Based upon that evaluation, Missions president and treasurer (its principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer) concluded that Missions disclosure controls and procedures (1) were effective in
timely alerting him to material information relating to Mission required to be included in Missions periodic SEC filings and (2) were adequate to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Mission in the reports filed or
submitted by Mission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed and summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in Missions internal control over financial reporting
identified in connection with the evaluation described in paragraph (a) above that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Missions internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in litigation that arises from the ordinary
operations of business, such as contractual or employment disputes or other general actions. In the event of an adverse outcome of these proceedings, we believe the resulting liabilities would not have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition or results of operations.

On March 15, 2006, the FCC issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture
(NALF) with respect to certain CBS-affiliated television stations in the Central and Mountain time zones, wherein the FCC determined that these stations had broadcast material that apparently violates Section 73.3999 of the
Commissions rules regarding the broadcast of indecent material. Specifically, the FCC found that a December 31, 2004 broadcast of the program Without a Trace contained material that is actionably indecent. The FCC proposed a
monetary forfeiture of $32,500 per station for this violation, including a fine for Missions station KOLR. On April 14, 2006, CBS Broadcasting, Inc. submitted an opposition to this NALF and on May 5, 2006, the CBS network affiliates
submitted a separate opposition to this NALF. We are currently unable to predict when or how the FCC will respond to these oppositions; however, the FCC must respond before any station is required to pay the proposed fine.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

There are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part
I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
