In 
Local TV: Perils & Promise In The Age Of Streaming (from Alan Wolk, Tim Hanlon & Evan Shapiro), we surveyed 60k Americans and found that more young people watch local news than you might think. Also, just as many people never watch as you imagined.

The Report is free for TVREV subscribers for 90 days. Read up, and stay tuned for a townhall where you can call BS if you want/dare!  


Of course Amazon is planning ad breaks for Prime Video.

As we wrote in 2019, Amazon ads are a game changer: First party, opt-in data and rich data. And not just consent, or email data but purchase behaviors; from stores, online, mobile apps and viewing data from Fire sticks and devices...
