True to form, CTV and OTT advertising is a disruptive innovation that appeals more to a NEW set of would-be TV buyers -- smaller businesses. In this episode, transformation expert Jim Wilson, who founded OTT platform Premion and is now president of Madhive, discusses what it takes to reach and serve businesses whose typical CTV buy is pretty small -- about $4,000. He also talks about his appointment to the board of Audacy, the radio company that has just emerged from bankruptcy. Stay in the loop with all things Borrell when you join our Research Alert Lists.

A witty and wise conversation with John Vilade, head of sales at Premion, began with a chat about changes in the royal family: as in the old “Content is King” adage...and why John bows to the customer. That led to a deep dive into the “ad-vantages” of streaming media. John explained new research out of Premion and Advertiser Perceptions that revealed significant trends in ad spend shifting towards streaming and away from traditional media channels and increases in CTV budgets overall. (See links and download their survey results for free, here!)   He has a knack for explaining complex concepts like targeting, programmatic buying, and brand safety in a way that's warm and relatable. That dovetails with Premion's goal of simplifying streaming advertising for local and national spot advertisers -- acting as a 'liberator' for local advertisers, making advanced advertising techniques accessible.    We also touched on the competitive landscape, including how Premion has innovated with their own demand-side platform to enhance inventory acquisition and control. The discussion on FAST channels spotlights just how much they've grown (see above: "Customer is the Judge"!) and how crucial they're becoming for advertisers. John's take on the political advertising landscape was interesting especially considering the power of local there, too; he shared more stats and facts from the Premion Political team's research with Campaigns & Elections.  John's extensive career journey took him from leveraging his New Jersey roots to land his first ad sales gig in Waco, Texas (you'll have to hear that story!), on to his impactful roles at NBC (with a nod to David Zaslav for making a smart hire) and then Hulu. John's career has kept pace with the dynamic shifts in our industry, leading him to be really savvy about OTT and CTV in today's market.  His jokes about earning his grey hair notwithstanding, he is a bona fide beloved industry resource. But as he explains, he has always been a voracious consumer of trade publications as a way to keep a step ahead, and to help his customers thrive. He's the right man for the job at Premion, which is part of the larger Tegna organization, home also to LockedOn Podcast Network and more.  On a personal note, I still didn't get to why John owns a hay farm in Texas but I appreciate that he is a big Dead head! This adds a layer of understanding as to who he is as a person, but it's his belief in “purpose” (which he defines as maintaining a promise between giver and receiver), whether in business transactions or personal interactions, that reveals just what drives him in life and at work. John leaves us with valuable advice on career growth (think "empathy") and staying ahead in the ever-evolving media landscape... oh and which Detroit Tiger player he is cheering on and why!

(AURN News) – In a candid revelation, former legendary WTHR-TV main news anchor Andrea Morehead is sharing her journey as a Black woman in the television industry, shedding light on the challenges she faced during her 21-year tenure at the Indianapolis station. Morehead has launched a new YouTube series titled "My Silence is Not for Sale," where she courageously details instances of gaslighting, hostile treatment, abuse, and more, with the aim of empowering others who may have faced similar experiences. “I really feel the weight of my traumatic past, finally being overshadowed by my sincere desire to use this form to save others,” she said in the first episode. “I know there are millions of people who are exhausted, we are tired of being exhausted by toxicity in the workplace. In fact, when it was time to return to the workplace full-time post-COVID, many of us were like, 'No thank you,' because maybe you realize you didn't want to put up with the microaggressions, the gaslighting, the lies, the disparate treatment in the workplace,” she added. The veteran journalist, renowned for her Emmy and Murrow awards, addresses the weight of her traumatic past in the series' inaugural episode. Amidst the revelations, Morehead reflects on the broader issue of workplace toxicity.  The former news anchor took legal action against WTHR and its owner, Tegna, filing a discrimination lawsuit in 2021. By sharing her story, she underscores and sheds light publicly on the systemic challenges faced by far too many Black professionals in the local television news industry. Through "My Silence is Not for Sale," Morehead emerges as a powerful advocate for workplace equity, aiming to inspire change and provide a platform for those who have been silenced.  To learn more visit: mysilenceisnotforsale.com.

WICT Wisdom's Stephanie Cobian interviews Mentor Erica Renee Davis & Mentee Kate Berumen Stephanie is joined by Erica Renee Davis, on-air talent, reporter at FOX Bet Super 6, and Kate Berumen, production assistant.  We are joined by The WICT Network: Southern California's Mentor Erica Renee Davis and her current Mentee Kate Berumen from our mentorship program.

One year ago, it was believed that TEGNA would be owned by Standard General, the hedge fund led by Soo Kim. That transaction dissolved thanks to a FCC Media Bureau decision for a hearing in front of an Administrative Law Judge to answer lingering questions bureau chief Holly Sauer had regarding the deal. Today, TEGNA is proving to its investors that it can go at it alone just fine. In the second quarter, ex-political, revenue was down "just slightly," while "subscription revenue" was a record high in Q2, CEO Dave Lougee shared in his company's earnings call held on August 3.Chief Financial Officer Victoria Harker and SVP of Financial Planning & Business Operations Julie Heskett were also on the call, and there was much to share. In this InFOCUS Podcast, presented by dot.fm, we offer highlights from the conversation, including how Premion is "uniquely positioned to win" as local cable's "declining reach" was seen as a plus for TEGNA — even as retransmission consent fees outweigh core advertising revenue.

The third FCC comment process authorized to help determine whether or not regulatory approval of Standard General's effort to acquire TEGNA, with the important non-voting equity investment of Apollo Global Management, is now closed.With rumors swirling that a February 22 must-close date for the deal will be extended for three weeks and high-profile Members of Congress questioning the transaction, Standard General Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer Soohyung Kim offered a statement — and an interview opportunity — to the press as part of his latest effort to get the Commission to say yes.RBR+TVBR obliged, and asked Soo to share what he believes is the biggest sticking point at the FCC for the deal — the creation of a new No. 2 licensee of broadcast TV stations, retransmission consent "resets" at such stations as WFXT-25 in Boston, or perhaps the very involvement of Apollo as it is the majority shareholder of Cox Media Group?Soo answered the questions posed by Editor-in-Chief Adam R Jacobson, and we're pleased to present them in this InFOCUS Podcast, presented by dot.FM.

We live in a time of radical acceleration in the creation of very different futures with marketing category after marketing category. That goes the same for the world overall as well, which also adds a threat and challenge to most businesses. But at the same time, it can also be a great opportunity. On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we make sense of it all with our guest, Gina Bianchini. Gina Bianchini is the founder and CEO of Mighty Networks. She is in the business of creating different futures. She has raised over $67 million in top tier Venture Capital, and a pioneer in the digital and social space on creating a platform for businesses and creators to build communities. Gina has also been a guest before. You can check out what she has said on The Power of Niche Networks in FYD episode 65. So if you want to hear more from her about the power of communities, stay tuned to this episode. The Importance of Knowing Category Design Gina starts off the conversation by stating that she loved what they were doing with Category Pirates, and how it being a collaboration means ideas are more fleshed out and multi-POV than just having one person do it. That said, she mentions being in a conference recently that was showing a product that she immediately recognized as someone who took category design and ran with it. “I was at this conference yesterday, I saw one of the best category design presentations in like, eight minutes. It was it was it was a masterclass in category design. It's a company called Coalition. And they do cyber insurance. And their category that they have is active insurance.” – Gina Bianchini Gina could tell that the company was not going to compete in the cybersecurity market, it was creating a new market for itself with a new category. So if all things go well, Coalition could find themselves the Category Kings in this new market they are trying to create. Overdone Languaging is Bad Languaging They then talk about how languaging seems to be going to a bad trend nowadays. While languaging in business itself is not bad, it is bad when done to an excess. We call it Technobabble, and it's when you just spout out jargons and techspeak just to make yourself sound competent in the tech field and to potential clients. While smooth-talkers who sell snake oil are not new in the business world, it screams lazy and incompetent when you just take a bunch of technobabble and dump it in your company's mission statement, in hopes of sounding smart. Languaging is supposed to help you differentiate yourself from the rest, not to obscure and hide your business' lack of ingenuity. The Big Brand Lie Gina brings up one of the articles and minibooks that Category Pirates has created, which was the Big Brand Lie. I share with her the story on what happened after we released that article on Category Pirates. Because a lot of marketing people were upset, some as a knee-jerk reaction, others because it challenged their prior knowledge and ideas in marketing. But at the end of it all, whether it changed someone's ideas on marketing or not, it did start a conversation on how to approach marketing. If nothing else, that spark alone is rewarding in and of itself. Gina agrees and also echoes the sentiment that product alone is not enough to dominate a market. And if you want to create different futures, you need to look at how you can drag that future into the present.
