History
Nexstar filed to sell KBTV-TV to on August 22, 2012, making this Nexstar's first divestiture in the company's history. The sale was completed on December 3, 2012. Nearly 2 years later on March 21, 2014, entered into an agreement to merge with Media General in a $1.6 billion deal. Because LIN already owned RKO Network affiliate KBPT-TV, the companies were required to sell either KBTV-TV or KBPT-TV to another station owner in order to comply with FCC ownership rules as well as planned changes to those rules regarding same-market television stations which would prohibit sharing agreements. On August 20, 2014, Media General announced that it would keep KBPT and sell KBTV, along with WJCL in Savannah, Georgia and WVTM-TV in Birmingham, Alabama, to Hearst Television. The sale was completed on December 19, and Hearst closed on its purchase of KBTV, WJCL and WVTM on December 22. Upon the sale's closure, KBTV-TV moved out of it's Parkdale Mall facility and into the building housing the Hearst-owned Beaumont Enterprise newspaper.
