Broadcast media’s most prestigious leadership conference is returning to The Capital of the World, and this year’s edition promises to be as high-stakes as ever. Registration is now open for Forecast 2026, set for November 12 at the Harvard Club of New York City.
With a fresh urgency, new names, and a sharper focus on where radio and television go next, Forecast is jointly produced by Radio Ink and Radio + Television Business Report, offering a tightly curated agenda for decision-makers operating at the intersection of broadcasting, capital, and culture.
Co-chaired by Cox Media Group Radio President Rob Babin and Nexstar Networks President Sean Compton, the day offers an executive-level view of what’s ahead from Wall Street to Main Street, without the filler.
The day opens with an economic deep-dive into the most pressing question of the moment: What does broadcast revenue look like in 2026 when the uncertainty rules and AI-fueled disruption accelerates?
But Forecast isn’t just about bracing for the dip – it’s about spotting the pivot.
From broadcast’s appeal to private equity, how Main Street media is thriving in small markets, and what’s really happening in DC behind the scenes, it all culminates in the Executive Super Session with some of the most influential broadcast executives working today.
Forecast is built not just to inform, but to convene.
Attendees won’t just hear from leaders – they’ll eat lunch with them, then enjoy cocktails and conversation with the most powerful people in broadcasting at the Broadcast Leadership Reception in storied Harvard Hall to cap the day.
Be there when Radio Ink presents the prestigious Lifetime Leadership Award to Randy Michaels, and spotlights the 40 Most Powerful People in Radio and Radio + Television Business Report’s Top Broadcast Television Leaders
Forecast remains one of the few events where ownership groups, policy-makers, and financial architects can hash out the future in the same room. And this year, being in that room is more urgent than ever.
Due to the nature of the event, seats at Forecast 2026 are extremely limited and reserved for senior-level executives, policy leaders, and industry strategists shaping the future of broadcast. Join us on November 12 at the Harvard Club.
