You can stare at the radar, study the clouds, and pull up all the facts and figures you want, but ultimately the forecast comes down to the discretion and wisdom of the chief meteorologist. They’re the experts who analyze data, track patterns, and use their knowledge to predict what’s coming next, helping us prepare for any weather that might blow our way.
Radio Ink and RBR+TVBR have our own panel of “chief meteorologists” each year at Forecast — we call it the Executive Super Session. These top-level leaders close the day with their view of the year ahead, spotting potential storm clouds on the horizon and identifying clear skies for growth. They wield the power that charts the industry’s course, influencing everything from career paths in broadcasting to how listeners and viewers engage with content in a competitive landscape.
Guided by NewsNation New York Bureau Chief and 2024 Radio Hall of Fame inductee Lee Harris, our expert panel is here to help you understand what to prepare for, what to avoid, and where to find the sunny opportunities in the year ahead!

Lee Harris, New York Bureau Chief/Director of Integrated Operations, NewsNation and WGN Radio
Panelists:
Jack Abernethy, CEO, Fox Television Stations
Liz Alesse, Vice President, ABC Audio, ABC News
Rob Babin, EVP/Head of Radio, Cox Media Group
