For Frank Copsidas, the head of the LPTV Broadcasters Association, 5G Broadcast as a new standard for Class A and low-power TV stations is all about public safety and — importantly in the Carr Commission era — the public interest. He explains this evolved viewpoint in a new request for rulemaking being filed with the FCC.

He was a key figure at the forefront of the digital evolution of broadcast and cable television who joined Hearst Television in 2008. Since 2016, he has held the role of Chief Strategy and Business Development Officer. At year's end, he will retire from the privately held owner of broadcast TV stations overseen by Michael J. Hayes.

Originally born as a digital sanctuary, Urban One's "ONE Yard" is stepping outside of the screen and hitting the ground to deliver immersive, live on-campus experiences celebrating the culture, community, and legacy of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) at various venues across the U.S.

He spent more than a decade at Univision Communications, rising to VP of Advertising Sales, before exiting for a similar role at Estrella Media. In August 2022, he joined Gray to lead its Spanish-language media sales. Now, Jason Hall is being promoted at the company today known as Gray Media.

Starting October 5, the parent organization of omnipresent noncommercial Christian radio networks K-LOVE and Air1 will have a new VP of Live Events. He is joining K-LOVE Inc. after serving as GM of the Oak View Group-managed Central Bank Center in Lexington, Ky.

Here's the not-so-pleasant news regarding iHeartMedia's Q2 performance: A net loss slightly lower than last year's $83.48 million finish was logged.

It is a tale of two segments when it comes to the financial health of Entravision Communications, the company rooted in Hispanic broadcast media in the U.S. For its heritage Spanish-language radio and TV properties, Q2 revenue was down a sliver — even with the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The Advertising Technology & Services division? That's a whole other story.
