One of the most popular features of the year among readers of the Radio + Television Business Report is back! For the fifth consecutive year, RBR+TVBR is pleased to open the nomination window for its 2024 Top Local TV Leaders list.

These local individuals are the stewards of important and essential information sources that today may serve as the primary outlet for learning about the occurrences and events from across the world, and across the street. From local news and entertainment programming to a growing array of sports play-by-play, free-to-air television is in a renaissance. While the digital and streaming story is often dominating the headlines, linear television's continued importance — and how it feeds free ad-supported streaming television ("FAST") channels cannot be denied. NEXTGEN TV's continued growth and the adoption of Run3TV technology is also poised to transform broadcast TV by making it more personal, and addressable. With so much to look forward to, these individuals are paving a path that makes their stations invaluable to the communities in which they serve.



Nominations are being accepted through Tuesday, October 1. Please be sure to vote today!

The official Top Local TV Leaders of 2024 list will be exclusively released in the Fall 2024 RBR+TVBR Special Report, distributed digitally on November 11, 2024.

The Top Local TV Leaders list began in 2020 and expanded in 2021 to 20 honorees. We are pleased to single out these individuals for their leadership and accomplishments, with reader nominations fueling a curated list finalized by the RBR+TVBR editorial team.
