WOMEN IN RETIREMENT MONTHLY PRESENTATION – NAVIGATING THE NEW WORLD OF TELEVISION VIEWING (Hybrid - In-Person at NSK Location and on Zoom)

Friday, June 21, 10:00 a.m.

Television viewing used to be straightforward: connect an antenna and tune in to one of the channels available in your area. While this method was easy to use, it offered limited content options, and viewers were constrained to what was broadcast at that particular moment. Nowadays, the landscape has drastically changed. You have the freedom to watch nearly anything you desire, whenever you want, albeit with some potentially significant challenges.

Dr. Rich Chernock, who retired as the chief science officer of Triveni Digital, will shed light on the current television viewing landscape. He will provide insights into how we arrived at this point, clarify common points of confusion, and offer suggestions on how to tackle associated problems. All are welcome to attend.
