IN THE NEWS
Local advertising revenue in the US will rise 8.6% to $175.6 billion next year, boosted by the political season, according to BIA Advisory Services’ 2024 US Local Advertising Forecast. Without the projected political revenues, BIA estimates 2024 will bring $164.6 billion in total local advertising, a 2.2% increase year-over-year. “As expected, 2024 will be driven by political spending, and, even in markets that are not highly contested there will be a large amount of political advertising,” said Nicole Ovadia, VP forecasting and analysis, BIA Advisory Services. “Local political advertising will be fueled by the presidential and Senate campaigns as well as issue-based advertising.”
Tyler Perry (“A Madea Homecoming”) has inked a multi-year first-look deal with Netflix to write, direct and produce feature films. Coming up on the streamer are Perry’s “Six Triple Eight,” starring Kerry Washington, and “Mea Culpa,” with Kelly Rowland.
