S1E16: Lovin’ La Vida Local

How can broadcasters capitalize on the loyalty of their local news audiences to expand their digital offering? When news coverage is no longer just about the daily morning or evening show, how do they foster an “always-on” culture where news is delivered when it happens to audiences—regardless of where they are at that time or on what device? Discover how American broadcaster ViacomCBS is tackling this issue head-on and learn the methods the organization is deploying to deliver for its audiences.
