While some industry observers may ask why Upfront Week persists, one thing is for certain: NBCUniversal likely has no plans to cease its Upfront negotiation cycle's pomp and circumstance, given the windfall of dollars it has attracted for its 2025-2026 content window.

It's a private equity group based in New York that placed its dollars in enterprises "supporting the future of technology." This includes sectors such as media and entertainment. Now, this entity using rented workspaces at 45 Rockefeller Plaza is seeking the FCC's approval to buy a group of Monte Spearman's radio stations.

At 540 kHz from Islip, N.Y., Radio Zindagi has targeted South Asian communities with in-language programming since its return to local radio in late December 2020.

The ad-supported SiriusXM option will bring "the company's flagship audio service" at a fee of "less than $7" per month.
