NEW YORK — Univision Communications has teamed with IPG’s media agency Mediahub in forging a partnership with EDO Inc. and datafuelX — an arrangement Univision says will allow it “to leverage proprietary consumer behavior data to predict engagement performance for advertiser campaigns across Univision’s linear networks.”

It’s a first-of-its-kind partnership, says Univision — one that allows the multimedia company serving Spanish-speaking audiences across the U.S. “to demonstrate the potential for true data-driven media planning and value for marketers.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Russell Senate Office Building is just a one-mile walk from the FCC’s new headquarters. Yet, the path for Gigi Sohn in earning the role of a Democratic Commissioner at the agency may be as wide as the Anacostia River.

With vocal support from some and vehement opposition from others, Sohn’s selection by President Biden to fill out the FCC has become one of the most controversial in modern times. On Wednesday, Senate Commerce Committee Members scrutinized Sohn, along with three other nominees for governmental agencies.

Xperi believes that the radio industry is at an inflection point in how its product is delivered to consumers in the vehicle — or to put it more bluntly, that radio is being outgunned, outmanned and out-financed by Big Tech and other competitors when compared to what broadcast radio offers in the dashboard.

In this special webcast on Dec. 15, co-produced by Radio World and Xperi, we talk with experts about how the connectivity environment is changing and why Xperi believes its DTS AutoStage offering is the most powerful global radio solution to ensure radio’s continued prominence.

Xperi’s Joe D’Angelo, Radio World’s Paul McLane and guest panelists will discuss broad trends in connectivity in vehicles, and the implications of these trends for the media landscape; how forward-looking radio organizations are preparing for the digital future; what’s being done to assure radio’s integration with Android Automotive; the role of services like Quu that improve the listener’s user experience; and the value proposition for DTS AutoStage, which Xperi believes brings powerful benefits to broadcasters and radio listeners to address this pressing question.

Viewers of the webcast will also have access to the new companion e-book that explores these topics in more detail
