NextGen TV, set to be available in 75 markets, including New York, Philadelphia, Miami, San Francisco and Washington, by the end of 2022, is making its consumer debut amid the meteoric rise of consumer streaming. A group of executives at the vanguard of its rollout will tackle its most pressing challenges and key questions in NextGen, Streaming and the Future of Local Media, a panel at TVNewsCheck’s TV2025: Monetizing the Future Event at the NAB New York Show.

The executives will address how TV station groups will balance the content, marketing, revenue and technology needs associated with nurturing both distribution platforms, along with how technology is making it easier for local broadcasters to distribute content over many platforms while developing a mobile distribution feed that serves consumers in cars, on the beach and at the stadium.
