In broadcasting, the scoreboard has always been ratings. Every book, every quarter-hour, a number told you who was winning. Lately, a second scoreboard has gone up, and this one is read in term sheets. Private equity, strategic buyers, and lenders are all keeping score, weighing which companies have the scale, discipline, and positioning to win the next cycle and which will become someone else’s acquisition. Consolidation, valuation resets, and regulatory shifts are changing the math.
By this time next year, many of those questions will have answers. At Forecast 2027, you’ll find your chance to get out ahead of the pack.
“Who’s Buying Broadcast? The Money, the Deals, and the 2027 Shakeout” takes a hard look at where capital is moving, which deals are likely to close, and who stands to win in 2027. The panel also explores what broadcast companies need to do now to stay attractive in a market that rewards scale, discipline, and smart positioning.
Kalil & Co. Vice President Jason Anderson, Collective Heads Partner Tim Dukes, Gray Media VP/Investor Relations Alan Gould, and CreditSights CFA and Managing Director Davis Hebert take part.
