Add to that entertainment tariff threats, massive agency layoffs, open fire among nuclear powers in India/Pakistan, the threat of suspending the right of due process for citizens, topped with a new Pope from Chicago, and we have ourselves a very 2025-like Spring in full swing. The first week of May put the **New in NewFronts:** - **VIZIO** showed it’s Walmart vision, **LG Ads** had its own event with Fifty Cent and **Samsung Ads** had Letterman on its show. - **YouTube, Comscore, Wurl, Cadent, TikTok, T-Mobile, Anoki, Revry** and more reminded advertisers that TV is far more than what networks are pitching. - **LinkedIn** launched influencer programs and a new B2B for CTV pitch (watch for our special report on that in June) We expect the Upfronts to be less about buying shows and more about finding audiences in a cross-platform world. In other words, even networks are starting to look and talk like cross-platform publishers - just ones with really big IP. Lots of coverage and analysis on this and more from **Alan Wolk, Jon Lafayette, John Cassillo, Eleanor Downling and Tim Hanlon** below.
