The 2017 keynote line-up may have a few nuggets of interest for those in broadcasting (with former Fox CEO Barry Diller topping the list) but it’s some of the conference sessions that read like must-attends for those with a vested interest in pay-TV and digital delivery.
CTA CEO Gary Shapiro and executives from Dish Networks, Epix, Google, Nielsen, Turner, NBC Universal, Starz, Amazon Studios, PBS and more from the broadcast sector will be taking part in various conference programs during CES week.
