Bill Caudill liked thisBill Caudill liked thisThe NCAA announced that it will expand its two March Madness tournaments by eight teams each next season, a long-expected move that will drop more games into the first week of the highly popular and lucrative showcase without substantially changing its overall form. The new, 76-team brackets will jam eight extra games — for a total of 12 involving 24 teams — into the front half of the first week of the men’s and the women’s tournaments. It will turn what’s now known as the First Four into a bigger affair that will now be called the “March Madness Opening Round.” Read more: https://cnn.it/4tTxv8R

Bill Caudill liked thisBill Caudill liked thisI learned something important last month while giving a talk in Philadelphia. Most business owners don’t share their origin story for one reason. They’re afraid people will think it’s boring. Or vain. Or useless. Or wrong. The hard truth is -- they’re right. Most people will think one of those things. And that’s exactly how it should be. Let me explain. Lightbulb moment I had just finished a presentation on “How to Build Your Origin Story” at the Small Business Expo when a soft-spoken woman came up to me and said: “I’ve never wanted to talk about myself because I didn’t think people would care.” Then she paused. “But when you said most people won’t care… and that my story is only for the people I can help… it finally made sense.” There are many reasons founders don’t share their story. They’re camera-shy. They don’t want to be “salesy.” They don’t want to be an influencer. But it really comes down to this: What if they share it… and no one cares? Here’s the shift Your story is not for everyone. It’s not supposed to be. If it were, it wouldn’t be a story. It would be a slogan. Safe. Smooth. Forgettable. A real origin story does something else. It draws a line. It says: “This is what I’ve seen.” “This is what I believe.” “This is who I can help.” And just as important: “This is not for everyone.” Because you don’t help everyone. You can’t. And the moment you try to make your story resonate with everyone, you strip it of the very thing that makes it useful: Specificity. The Right People The right people aren’t looking for a perfect story. They’re looking for a true one. One that feels familiar. One that makes them say: “That’s exactly what I’ve been dealing with.” So yes -- most people won’t care about your story. But the few who do? They’re the ones you built your business for.

Efficient scheduling is no longer just an operational need; it’s a competitive advantage. With increasing pressure on broadcasters to do more with less, intelligent traffic and scheduling tools like BOSS Studio help simplify complexity, improve accuracy, and unlock real business value. Agility, scalability, and profitability are exactly what today’s broadcast teams need.

Huge News For Radio. More people listen to radio now than 20 years ago, but it hasn't been measured with the same precision as digital - until now. The pixel based solution from MagellenAI will measure radio attribution the same as podcasts showing the true impact of a full audio stack. https://lnkd.in/geU3XuqH

It’s interesting how media buyers rely heavily on research, until the conversation turns to radio, where perception often replaces reality. The data is clear: AM/FM radio commands 64% of time spent with ad-supported audio. Even more telling, when buyers and planners ask their AI platforms, many are surprised to see the data strengthen the AM/FM radio story. The takeaway... data still matters and radio still delivers.

Does #MXL replace SMPTE ST 2110? NO!! During one IABM Technology & Trends Roadmap working group calls, it was clear that many of us kept hearing incorrectly that MXL (Media eXchange Layer) is a replacement for ST 2110. While at the North American Broadcasters Association (NABA) event this week in New York, I asked Felix Poulin from CBC/Radio-Canada and Vincent Trussart from Grass Valley to help clear this up. Thanks to Felix for providing a clear drawing! Help to get this detail out by reposting and sharing with your peer groups. For additional detail, figure 15 of this European Broadcasting Union (EBU) #DMF document shows the difference between streaming and exchange layer https://lnkd.in/eqsgAnxq

Not so super Frank C. seems to never get the facts straight. Let''s take the time to review his latest 'drivel' 🧱 FACT CHECK: Setting the Record Straight on “5G Broadcast vs ATSC 3.0” 1️⃣ “5G Broadcast is advancing globally while ATSC 3.0 struggles.” ❌False. ATSC 3.0 is deployed in more countries and more receiver types than 5G Broadcast. Fact: ATSC 3.0 is on-air across the U.S., South Korea, Jamaica, and Brazil (TV 3.0), with additional trials in Canada, India, Mexico, and multiple European markets. Meanwhile, there are no nationwide 5G Broadcast deployments anywhere—only isolated MNO pilots in Germany, Austria, and China. 2️⃣ “ATSC 3.0 can’t be received on phones.” ❌Completely outdated. Fact: ATSC 3.0 reception is active on feature phones, smartphones, tablets, USB-C dongles, gateways, and TVs from multiple vendors. The ecosystem includes Saankhya/Tejas, MediaTek, SiliconDust, and others—commercial hardware, not prototypes. 3️⃣ “5G Broadcast is the only global standard (3GPP).” ❌ Misleading. Fact: ATSC 3.0 is an ITU-recognized international broadcast standard (BT.2037, BT.1877)—same global recognition level as DVB-T2 or ISDB-T. ATSC 3.0 is also natively IP, fully interoperable with 3GPP systems (that’s the foundation of B2X – Broadcast-to-Everything). 4️⃣ “Release 18 feMBMS is a game-changer.” ❌Hardly. Fact: Release 18 adds incremental improvements—larger guard intervals, extended SFN support, and optional return path—but it remains dependent on operator spectrum and core integration. ATSC 3.0 already exceeds feMBMS throughput, spectral efficiency, and modulation flexibility, operating independently in broadcast bands and enabling one-to-many delivery without network load. 5️⃣ “Brazil will also implement 5G Broadcast to complement TV 3.0.” ❌ Blatantly false. Fact: Brazil’s SBTVD Forum explicitly rejected 5G Broadcast for terrestrial TV services. TV 3.0 is based on ATSC 3.0 physical layer technology. The separate MNO-led study on mobile use cases is not part of TV 3.0 and has no official adoption. 6️⃣ “India is aligning with 5G Broadcast.” ❌ Misrepresented. Fact: India’s D2M (Direct-to-Mobile) initiative is ATSC 3.0-centric, jointly developed by Prasar Bharati, IIT Kanpur, and Saankhya Labs. Government agencies recognize ATSC 3.0 as the technical basis for large-scale D2M deployment. 7️⃣ “ATSC 3.0 is its own worst enemy.” ❌Wrong again. Fact: ATSC 3.0 is the only broadcast system proven to deliver UHD, HDR, datacasting, emergency alerts, and IP services at scale—while converging with telecom and satellite systems in real deployments. The global momentum speaks for itself—ATSC 3.0 is the broadcast foundation for the connected world. 🔧 Bottom Line feMBMS is a network feature. ATSC 3.0 is a full system. ATSC 3.0 delivers broadcast-grade performance today—independent, interoperable, and global. The world isn’t “swimming against the current.” It’s following the current—and that current flows through ATSC 3.0.
