There's a new senior programming leader at Cumulus Media, and she's being heralded as "a key resource" for the company's 40 radio stations offering Adult R&B, Classic Hip-Hop, contemporary R&B and Gospel to audiences across the U.S.

In February, the woman chosen to succeed LaFontaine Oliver as New York Public Radio‘s President/CEO was revealed. Now, the parent of WNYC Radio and Classical WQXR is seeking her replacement.

“Streaming has entered its maturity phase, and the line between broadcasters and platforms is blurring." That's a key conclusion offered by Frédéric Vaulpré, Sr. VP at French television industry market intelligence firm Glance, delivered to MIPCOM 2026 attendees on Monday morning during a keynote session at the European conference in Cannes, France.

For more than a decade, iHeartMedia radio stations carrying national campaigns through its Premiere Networks arm and via local campaigns maintained exclusivity for a mobile speed dial rapid accessibility tool designed to aid recall and action in a Direct Response advertisement. Now, "Dial #250" is available to all.

In another sign that the Patrick Paolini-led TEGNA is most definitely an independently-run unit of Nexstar Media Group, he's just signed off on a "comprehensive, multi-year deal" that renews station affiliation agreements for all of the stations presently airing such programming as "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and "The View."

On June 12, 2024, the former News Director and Asst. ND of WOOD-TV each filed a defamation suit against Nexstar Media Group. A September 2024 attempt by Nexstar to dismiss the complaint from the ND was dismissed. Now, more than two years later, a federal district court judge has ruled in favor of the ex-staffers, but not for defamation.

A federal magistrate judge has denied a motion designed to force Nexstar and TEGNA to respond to a question as part of the discovery process in its antitrust case filed by a group of state AGs and DirecTV.  The decision is a win for the nation's largest owner of broadcast TV stations — at least for this round.
