First-run syndication has long served up TV shows to which viewers felt deeply connected and tuned in daily to watch: Oprah, Jerry, Maury, Judy, Phil, Ellen. The erosion of linear viewing has drastically changed that dynamic, making it difficult to produce programs of the same quality and keep them on the air.
A panel of industry legends at TVNewsCheck’s TV2025: Monetizing the Future conference at the NAB Show New York on Oct. 25 will explain how they’ve spent their careers bucking that trend.
Building a Breakout Hit in a Multiplatform World, which will close out the conference at the Javits Center at 4 p.m., features panelists Michael Gelman, executive producer and showrunner of Live with Kelly and Mark; Jason Kurtz, executive producer and showrunner of The Drew Barrymore Show; Suzanne Prete, EVP, game shows, Sony Pictures Television; and Stephen Brown, EVP of programming and development, Fox First Run and Fox Television Stations. TVNewsCheck Contributing Editor Paige Albiniak will moderate the conversation.
“These syndication superstars will discuss how they keep their shows fresh in a challenging environment, how they use digital and social platforms to keep their talent connected to viewers and what sorts of brand extensions they are working on,” said TVNewsCheck Editor Michael Depp. “They will also look toward the future and consider how syndication needs to evolve to remain relevant.”
