Session Date:
Wed Jul 11 - 9:20 am - 10:00 am

These days it’s a common theme to say that a non-traditional medium has become traditional given the pace at which technology introduces new media and advertising platforms. The real question is whether or not established media players have the courage to use their position as incumbents to re-invent themselves and essentially cannibalize their own business. Warren Schlichting, Senior Vice President for DISH Media Sales & Analytics, will examine how the commerce of traditional TV advertising is being transformed by digital expectations and back-end technologies and how at least one traditional platform is undergoing radical change. With a slew of new product offerings for consumers and advertisers (including addressable linear television ad insertion), DISH increasingly resembles a digital media advertising platform and this session promises to bring forth the benefits and drawbacks, pain and progress of such a transformation.
