Description
In Episode 27 of In the Vicinity, Tim Hanlon dives solo into the stories reshaping local media—from shrinking newsroom employment and Local Now's growing FAST footprint to KPRC Houston's bold reinvention of the nightly newscast.
Plus, why a 20-year-old comedy rerun beat late-night competitors, how Amazon and DAZN are emerging as replacements for regional sports networks, and why WPLG's free streaming deal with the Miami Heat could offer a glimpse of local sports' future.
