Christine McNalley • [email protected] The number of viewing screens seems to increase every day, and there is no shortage of places for content to go, or ways for it to get there. But content is not the issue troubling many in the ADMINISTRATION industry today. Monetizing the cross-platform environment, however, is.

As a result of rather random bidding at a fundraiser gala, I ended up with a spa package and Apple TV. Although both came in tiny boxes, a helpful colleague explained “there isn’t a real TV in there, you know.” By now I expect technology to be smaller, faster, easier, so I wasn’t really expecting some telescoping big screen to come bursting out. Although, like Doctor Who’s Tardis, it did open the door to a big experience, and more consumers (if not actually joining the much-ballyhooed but so far greatly exaggerated cord- Find them at cutting revolt) are testing these new “not real TV” viewing options. Which is why it’s fi tting that this edition of Playback looks at the future of TV. When the June lineup was planned, we originally referred to it as the money issue. Along the way, although the annual funding and production tallies anchor the reports, we widened the scope to look ahead, and asked associations how they’re preparing their membership for the future. In that vein, it also seemed prudent to check in on the next gen of production talent, so we rolled our annual academic report into the mix. Speaking of new talent, I’m delighted to introduce you to Playback’s new editor, Katie Bailey, who has taken The defi nitive over the job of steering content. Katie joins the team from sister publication Media In Canada, so she’s well versed in the TV and media side of the industry, and is a kickass daily news editor. While we’ll sorely miss her news source for on the strategy brand, our loss is also our gain, as the two publications are collaborating more. For instance, as Playback and strategy, Canada’s national marketing magazine, were planning their joint Fall TV coverage, it was clear that this is the year web TV, social TV, addressable TV and the myriad new alt viewing the Canadian options afoot will have more impact on both publications’ worlds.

(202) 429-8970 April 19, 2017 Their Attorneys -ii- SUMMARY In this Petition, WSBS Licensing, Inc. and its parent company Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. (“SBS”) seek modification of the television market of WSBS-TV, Key West, Florida (the “Station”), to reinstate 41 communities (the “Communities”) located in the Miami- Ft. Lauderdale Designated Market Area (the “Miami-Ft. Lauderdale DMA” or the “DMA”) that were previously deleted from the Station’s television market by virtue of a series of market modification decisions released in 1996 and 1997. SBS seeks recognition that the Communities located in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties form an integral part of WSBS-TV’s natural market. The elimination of the Communities prior to SBS’s ownership of the Station cannot diminish WSBS-TV’s longstanding service to the Communities, to which WSBS-TV provides significant locally-produced news and public affairs programming targeted to residents of the Communities, and where the Station has developed many substantial advertising relationships with local businesses throughout the Communities within the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale DMA. Cable operators have obviously long recognized that a clear nexus exists between the Communities and WSBS-TV’s programming because they have been voluntarily carrying WSBS-TV continuously for at least a decade and continue to carry the Station today.

Excludes repeats, specials, movies, news, sports, programs with only one telecast, and Spanish language nets. Cable: Mon-Sun, 8-11P. Broadcast: Mon-Sat, 8-11P; Sun 7-11P.

Important to Note: This list utilizes the TV Guide listing service to denote original telecasts (and exclude repeats and specials), and also line-items original series by the internal coding/titling provided to Nielsen by each network. Thus, if a network creates different "line items" to denote different seasons or different day/time periods of the same series within the calendar year, both entries are listed separately. The following provides examples of separate line items that we counted as one show: %(7 V%HLQJ0DU\-DQH%(,1*0$5<-$1(6DQG%(,1*0$5<-$1(6 1%& V7KH9RLFH92,&(DQG92,&(78( 1%& V7KH&DUPLFKDHO6KRZ&$50,&+$(/6+2:3DQG&$50,&+$(/6+2: Again, this is a function of how each network chooses to manage their schedule.
