Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into contractual commitments for network affiliation agreements, the acquisition of programming and for other purchase and service agreements. Minimum payments on such contractual commitments at December 31, 2024 were: $936.0 million in 2025, $541.8 million in 2026, $256.2 million in 2027, $120.5 million in 2028, $42.3 million in 2029 and $17.4 million in later years. We expect these contracts will be replaced with similar contracts upon their expiration.

We are involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, such as defamation actions and governmental proceedings primarily relating to renewal of broadcast licenses, none of which is expected to result in material loss.
