Local TV Stations’ Day in the OTT Sun: $40B Market is Theirs to Take, if They Can Reach It

September 17, 2015

Fierce Online Video – With one of the largest station groups in the U.S. consolidating its advertising efforts among affiliates and a consortium of broadcasters looking to start a streaming app service for their regional-local affiliates, the market for local TV stations appears to be ready to bust wide open.
