Gray Television consolidates its position as a leading US broadcaster through an expanded cooperation with the Telemundo Network. With a view to the sports-intensive year 2026, the company is increasingly positioning itself in the growing Spanish-speaking market. How strong will this expansion impact future business figures?
The company is expanding its reach with new Telemundo partner stations in Dayton, Ohio, Chattanooga, Tennessee and Lafayette, Louisiana. In doing so, the group underlines its status as the largest operator of Telemundo stations in the USA.
The key data on the market position:
* Market coverage: 113 television markets in the US.
* Household range: Around 37 percent of all US households.
* Market leadership: The company is the most-watched channel in 78 markets; It ranks first or second in a total of 99 markets.
* Content Production: Over 1,100 hours of local Spanish-language news and investigative formats are produced each month.
Focus on sport and regional strength
In addition to expanding in the Spanish-language segment, Gray Television is focusing on live local programming. A few days ago, the partnership with the Kansas City Royals was extended for the 2026 baseball season. The agreement ensures that the games will be broadcast free of charge on terrestrial television.
This strategy aims to retain high-quality local sports content in the Midwest, which has historically been a stable driver of core advertising revenue. Management expects demand to be particularly high in 2026, as in addition to the MLB season, the World Cup and Super Bowl LX will also attract media attention.
Balance sheet presentation on February 26th
Investors are now waiting for the next concrete financial data. Gray Television will report fourth quarter and full year 2025 results on Thursday, February 26.
At the subsequent analyst conference, management is expected to provide detailed insights into expectations for 2026. The year is considered particularly busy for political advertising due to upcoming political campaigns in the company’s 113 television markets. The publication of the figures is also the first appointment under the leadership of the new Vice President of Investor Relations, who has been responsible for communication with the capital market since the end of December.
