This week on In the Vicinity, local media veteran Tim Hanlon is joined by guest Jason Damata, Founder & CEO of Fabric Media and the driving force behind TVREV, for a wide-ranging conversation about the unraveling of traditional broadcast media — and what might come next.

From the shutdown of CBS Radio News after nearly 100 years to the end of Stephen Colbert's Late Show, Tim and Jason unpack what these cultural losses signal for local TV, radio, community identity, and the economics of media.

It's part media obituary, part industry therapy session, and part roadmap for what local media could become next.
