Glenn Hower, Research Analyst, Parks Associates will be moderating the panel "Who’s on First? The Second Screen is Dead… Long Live the Second Screen" on Thursday, September 18 at 3:25 – 4:10 PM. What we often call the second screen is fast becoming the first for a growing population of content consumers. What does this mean for programmers and distributors—and how can both camps work together to monetize and maximize every screen available? This panel of cable executives will have a conversation on how we can no longer view the TV in the living room as the “main” screen, especially as over-the-top content and other video apps continue to intermingle with traditional linear content.

This unique, insight-packed Cablefax summit will tell you everything you need to know about how multiplatform innovation is fueling new revenue and retention opportunities for TV content owners and distributors. As consumers change the way they interact with content, the interplay between screens and devices has become more important than ever. Mobility and content flexibility have created a new reality that’s changing how advertising strategies, rights negotiations and consumer marketing tactics play out across the media ecosystem.
