The 2024 NAB Show in Vegas put a spotlight on the seismic shifts happening in broadcasting media and the energy feels contagious. The BIA team returning from the event, Christina Hurley, Rick Ducey, and Nicole Ovadia, share their takeaways and excitement in our latest Leading Local Insights Podcast.
In the podcast, they discuss how ATSC3 and AI implementations are moving from buzzwords to real-world applications. They also examine the auto industry and the advanced tech vying for space in the complex dashboard arena. Plus, they discuss the new possibilities for radio in light of the FCC’s approval of over-the-air geotargeting for FM stations.
What’s most encouraging for the industry is to hear Christina, Nicole and Rick explain that the journey from theoretical tech to actionable business use cases is well underway and that there’s no denying that we’re witnessing a revolution that will redefine our media experience for years to come.
