“Sinclair, Cox, CBS and Gray are in the vanguard of local station groups launching a presence on OTT,” said Kathy Haley, publisher and co-founder of TVNewsCheck. “In moving early and decisively, they recognized the importance of the platform for local news and consequently have much to share on the fronts of content, technology and monetization there.”
Ehrlich, Stinson, Wiener and Overstreet will join previously announced keynote speaker Jon Steinberg, CEO of Cheddar and Katie Larson, VP of brand strategy and innovation at Magid, who will open the conference with a scene-setting breakdown of the OTT marketplace.
