First - In 2020, major networks and studios continue to launch their own direct-to-consumer streaming services, and competitors will likely scramble to offer broader content libraries. As the streaming wars intensify, can consumers expect to see more diverse on-demand options in the year ahead? Kevin Westcott, Deloitte’s U.S. leader of telecommunications, media, and entertainment, explores the biggest media trends for 2020 – from content reaggregation and ad-supported video to esports and 5G.

Following our dive into media trends for 2020, we will turn to the all-important relationship between finance and IT. As companies begin to create, rethink, or reimagine their digital strategies, how are technologies like cloud, machine learning, and blockchain helping them accelerate their pursuit? Sinclair’s Chief Information Officer, Brian Bark, will help us understand the fundamentals and shape the current environment as we get FIT (Finance/IT) for the future.
