How to Thrive in 2025
Mission:
A disrupted media ecosystem and an unfavorable regulatory environment have upped the ante for TV station group leaders determined to transform their businesses into high-profile, multiplatform enterprises serving large and devoted audiences. Industry leaders and futurists will explore game plans at TVNewsCheck’s Local TV Strategies conference, where ideas about finance, revenue and technology converge to reinvent business models. The conference, a re-imagination of what was previously known as TV2025: Monetizing the Future, will take place at NAB Show New York.

What are the major pivot points that will determine success or failure as local TV transforms, and what can broadcasters expect ahead for ad revenue, retrans and even reverse comp?
