While streaming audio company Pandora stemmed its steep slide in its stock value seen in recent days with a 1.6% rebound, to $7.02, and iHeartMedia gained 2.9%, to $1.80, all media stocks fell—some sharply.

Nexstar Media Group was off 5.4%, to $58.85, while Sinclair Broadcast Group slid 5%, to $33.05.
