Session Description:

As viewers cut the cord, they’re finding that (much to their chagrin) they’ve sometimes lost local news, weather, and sports, as well as scripted and unscripted content from their local country or region. Savvy OTT services are partnering with local stations and content creators to deliver the best of both worlds, to the delight of both viewers and advertisers.
