FAST channels are growing at fifty-three percent year-on-year. 📈 But here's the problem: they're running web-style business models on nineteen-nineties operations. And it's costing you millions.

While everyone's obsessing over ChatGPT in the newsroom, the real opportunity in broadcast is sitting right in front of you—unseen and untapped.

🎯 WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER:

💸 The revenue gap: Why FAST channels with CPM-based advertising can't compete when they're scheduling seven days in advance

🤖 Why ChatGPT won't help: The difference between generative AI and the predictive data science that actually drives broadcast revenue

📊 What nowcasting actually is: Using live signals (Google Trends, weather, social sentiment, BARB ratings, streaming logs) to predict audience engagement in real-time

⏱️ How it works in practice: The three-month proof of concept that could unlock 3-5% annual revenue improvement

💹 The numbers that matter: Reducing prediction error from 20% down to 10% (MAPE), translating to better content placement, higher CPM retention, fewer advertiser disappointments

🚀 Why this is happening now: The technology is mature. The data exists. The business case is clear. Only question: first-mover or follower?

🎙️ BEN & RAIANA EXPLORE:✓ Why FAST is the perfect entry point (not traditional linear TV)✓ The partnership approach: broadcast expertise plus data science✓ How editorial control stays with YOUR team✓ Success metrics: confidence scoring, override processes, model health✓ The three-month structure: clear deliverables, clear exit criteria✓ Why first-movers always win broadcast transformation

The future of broadcast scheduling isn't about creativity—it's about data. Organizations that move first will capture millions in recovered revenue before competitors even realize the opportunity exists.

This is the conversation about AI in broadcast that actually matters.
