With revenue and adjusted EBITDA exceeding expectations, Gray Media is more than satisfied with its fiscal prowess during the final three months of 2025 as it propels into this year with renewed vigor and a hopeful outlook on "the likelihood of local ownership reform that would help level the playing field for our industry."

How did the company that started 30 years ago with a single station in Wilkes Barre-Scranton perform in the final three months of 2025? It beat Wall Street forecasts on revenue but swung to a net loss, as adjusted EBITDA and adjusted Free Cash Flow fell sharply.

Investors in The E.W. Scripps Co. may be pleased with the expense discipline and reduced restructuring costs seen in the final three months of last year. This helped Scripps achieve Q4 '25 revenue that sailed past the consensus estimate. Unfortunately, that couldn't stop the company from registering a net loss. 

For the head of Sinclair Inc., the final three months surpassed the company's expectations, with total revenue coming in higher than it originally anticipated.  That's important to note, as the broadcast TV station owner's comps to a political dollar-fueled Q4 2024 make deciphering the fourth quarter 2025 a bit tricky.
