9:50 AM Modernizing the Media Ad Sales Force
The demands on media sellers have never been greater, as increasingly sophisticated ad buyers and their digital & data-expectant clients look for far more than traditional bread-and-butter linear TV "ad avails" to meet their marketing goals. How are media firms rethinking their talent structures and retooling their go-to-market propositions accordingly?

11:50 AM Political Advertising: Local's Biennial Fix
It's been 13 years since the Supreme Court's controversial decision in Citizens United opened a proverbial floodgate of new PAC-funded political ad spending into the US local TV marketplace - one that continues to grow unabated. A boon for local TV stations/groups for sure, but for how long and at what cost?
