The broadcast deal market is sizzling, hotter than it has been in years. Deal-makers say there are plenty of stations in the wings that may take advantage of the current climate to re-enter the deal market, and buyers have been stepping up with offers at solid multiples. A positive year for revenue growth buoyed by political revenues is supporting the deal flow.
Now in its 29th year, the SNL Kagan TV and Radio Finance Summit will explore not just how the most recent broadcast deals were valued and what may be in the pipeline. The Summit brings broadcast owners, investors, and strategic advisors together in panel discussions to examine the state of the broadcast business and explore the key drivers of revenue and market share.
Supported by SNL Kagan's independent data and analysis, the Summit presents the metrics, projections and commentary you need for your forward strategy, whether it's buying stations, selling stations or becoming more profitable through organic growth.
And this year, if you can't attend in person, you have the option to stream a simulcast of the Summit to your desktop, laptop or mobile device instead, plus view the archived sessions as often as you like for 6 months.
So, please join us this year as we look at:
•
What business models and revenue streams will drive the industry forward?
•
What are the prospects for radio/TV station deals and financing in the near- and long-term? Is the deal buzz of 2012 real, and how many deals are coming at what values?
•
What is ahead for 2012 in terms of revenue growth, new media initiatives, and areas such as retrans, mobile, online and social media?
•
What's the latest regarding spectrum auctions, mobile TV and the future of UHF/VHF?
We look forward to seeing you there,
