The TCA press tour, a biannual event dating back to the 1970s, involves companies spending significant sums to participate, filling panels with talent and providing meals. When successful, it fosters fruitful conversations and boosts viewership. However, participation is waning due to frustrations with the format, budget cuts, and the shift away from in-person gatherings. The latest cycle ended on July 17 after just eight days, with significant streamers like Netflix, Apple, and Amazon absent and no programming executives facing the press. #TCA #TelevisionCritics #PressTour #TVIndustry #EntertainmentNews #MediaTrends #TVPress #Broadcasting #CriticsTour #TelevisionEvents

I believe in the power, reach and engagement of radio - even when people think “traditional media” is dying. It’s definitely not! Read this great article >>
“Radio is an interactive medium … For over half of our listeners, contesting is one of the reasons that they come to radio [which have] become more accessible with digital options like text-to-win and social media contests. Radio is also inherently social: 80% of our listeners say that they come because they trust our hosts to be the voices of the community,” #iHeartMedia’s Chief Programming Officer Tom Poleman shared with CNBC. Dive into the article to learn how radio has remained a constant for listeners in an ever-changing media world: https://lnkd.in/edSP8hCA

Okay, it's nice that some CTV staffers check out my profile and post (while making sure I can't see them), but it would be even more useful if CTV actually CHANGED its embarrassing national newscast at 5:30 pm. Seriously? Genevieve Beauchemin having to do a story on the Paris Seine from Montreal and your Regina reporter twisting the flimsiest piffle about Taylor Swift concerts into the most strained regional relevance, all thanks to a Swift Current publicity effort....? What are you guys DOING? You literally had poor Sandie Rinaldo say the words, "It's a dog eat dog world" just before your commercial break (face palm). Did the intern phone that in or did you guys just decide you'll give up completely? Yes, we get it, and we all feel for you: Your greedy corporate parent has made it so that you have less money, less staff. But it's the same for your competition. You have great reporters, and this is beneath them. Instead of making them weave pitiful narrations according to your American network footage (again why should I watch your narrations on int'l news when I can go to int'l sources?), how about you TRY to make an effort to report CANADIAN NEWS and do it while not sounding like a first-year journalism students' F-grade TV script.

Today, kicking off the America's Public Television Stations Summit, we heard from outgoing President and CEO Patrick Butler. His speech offered insights from the past, wisdom for the present, and a glimpse to the future, reminding all of us why we do what we do. I spent a lot of time re-reading the full speech, trying to decide which quote to share here with you all. I have landed on one, but the entire speech is filled to the brim with meaning and I encourage everyone to read it in full. For now, here are some of his words of inspiration that have most stuck with me: “I’m sure many people in this room have a similar story to tell about their own humble origins in broadcasting and their ambitions to channel its power for good, perhaps even for salvation. To think that we could dream such dreams, and make them come true, is to understand just how special our country is, and how honored we are to serve it. Even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard. In a nation divided, we build community. To bitter debate, we bring civility. To an anxious people, we provide safety. To a coarsening society, we offer culture. Where intolerance looms, we embrace diversity. To those who have little, we impart the priceless gift of education. In the darkness of disinformation, we shine the liberating light of truth.” https://lnkd.in/gDehYrje

People trust broadcast radio for several reasons. First, it has been a reliable source of information and entertainment for many decades. It has established a sense of familiarity and trust among listeners. Second, radio is easily accessible and available to a wide range of people, regardless of their socio-economic status or location. This accessibility contributes to its perceived reliability. Third, radio hosts and personalities often build a personal connection with their audience, creating a sense of intimacy and trust.

Public Television Day is celebrated on April 7 because on that date in 1927, the company AT&T transmitted the first successful long-distance public broadcast of television. It was an image of Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, and was transmitted from Washington, D.C., to New York City. The most accepted model of public broadcasting incorporates universal geographical accessibility, universal appeal, attention to minorities, contributions to national identity and sense of community, distance from vested interests, direct funding and universality of payment, competition in good programming rather than numbers, and guidelines that liberate rather than restrict. For a long time, public broadcasting was the dominant or only form of broadcasting in many countries, because of this, we believe it is important to remember this date. https://lnkd.in/gCKsFa38

We often talk about the decline of local news in terms of newspapers. I don't think we pay enough attention to what's happening in local television, which has faced its own steep advertising decline (although offset to some degree by retransmission fee revenue). Next month, the oldest TV station in El Paso will end most (and maybe eventually all) of its traditional local news broadcasts. This is national market 89, in the 23rd largest city in the country and a place where vast amounts of important news takes place. Expect more of this. We need to expedite local news solutions. https://lnkd.in/gNs_-XMi
