Hearst-Argyle Television, Inc. (nyse|HTV) is a broadcasting company in the United States. Hearst-Argyle is majority-owned by the New York City-based Hearst Corporation, and holds joint ventures in television production with NBC Universal Television Distribution, has an Internet partnership with Internet Broadcasting Systems, Inc., and trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "HTV."

Hearst-Argyle was formed in 1997 with the merger of Hearst Corporation's broadcasting division and stations owned by Argyle Television Holdings II, which is partially related to the company of the same name who (in 1994) sold its stations to New World Communications, stations that eventually became Fox-owned stations.

In terms of audience reach, Hearst-Argyle is the largest group owner of ABC-affiliated stations, and the second-largest group owner of NBC affiliates.

Hearst-Argyle-owned stations

Currently, a total of 26 television stations, comprising of: ten NBC affiliates, twelve ABC stations, two CBS affiliates, one CW affiliate and one MyNetworkTV affiliate. The company also manages one ABC station, one CW affiliate and one independent station, and two radio stations — all owned by Hearst-Argyle's majority owner Hearst Corporation through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Hearst Holdings, Inc.
