You can stare at the radar, study the clouds, and pull up all the facts and figures you want. Ultimately the forecast comes down to the discretion and wisdom of the Chief Meteorologist: the expert who analyzes data, tracks patterns, and uses their knowledge to predict what’s coming next, helping us prepare for what might blow our way.
What’s coming for broadcast radio and television in the year ahead? The Forecast 2025 Executive Super Session offers the best take on whether storm clouds are on the horizon or if seeds for growth will spring in a few months.
At Forecast, top-level C-Suite executives each year close the day-long VIP symposium with their view of the year ahead.
