As 2025 begins, it's the perfect time to reflect on the milestones and trends that defined the media industry in 2024. At WideOrbit, last year brought exciting changes in leadership and a renewed commitment to innovation. We also witnessed transformative shifts in the media and advertising industries, laying the groundwork for what's to come in 2025.
2024 was an exciting year for WideOrbit. In addition to Susie Hedrick's appointment as CEO, Toni Coonce added the role of President to her duties as Chief Revenue Officer, and Brian Thoman stepped in as Chief Technology Officer. Our entire leadership team continues to distinguish itself through an unwavering commitment to creating top-quality solutions that prioritize the needs of our customers. Supporting those customers is of prime importance, with over 6,500 stations and networks that rely on WideOrbit's traffic systems and more than 4,400 radio stations live on WO Automation for Radio.
The media industry is undergoing a seismic shift, as linear and digital business models converge and create unprecedented challenges. WideOrbit is focused on balancing new efficiency models with innovation, with the goal of delivering new capabilities while also enabling our customers to do more with less. We've developed data strategies that make our systems more open, empowering both WideOrbit and our customers to leverage system interoperability and more robust integrations, as well as emerging technologies like AI and machine learning. We'll continue this work through the coming year, strengthening customer relationships and delivering value through innovative technology that helps our customers capitalize on growth opportunities in 2025 and beyond.
