Will Bigger Broadcasters Save Local TV—or Delay the Real Transformation?

from In the Vicinity · host Fabric Media

The FCC is preparing to reshape one of the biggest rules governing local television ownership. But will allowing broadcasters to own more stations actually solve the industry's biggest challenges—or simply buy more time? In episode 20 of In the Vicinity, Tim Hanlon and Madhive CEO Jim Wilson examine what the proposed FCC ownership changes could mean for local broadcasters, why scale alone isn't enough, and why the real opportunity lies in transforming from broadcast companies into true local media companies.
