ABC Station Group President Rebecca Campbell Joins LiveTV:LA Executive Conversation Line-Up

(22/10/2014) ABC Stations Group President Rebecca Campbell is the latest addition to the speaker line-up of senior television executives who will address the dynamic growth and changes in today's live-television business including sports, entertainment, news, and social media. Campbell's executive conversation with conference Co-Chair Harry Jessell will highlight Campbell's leadership of the leading news stations in the largest markets in the U.S. and the way local stations are delivering breaking news across a range of new digital channels.

She joins NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt and Fox Sports Executive Producer David Neal as anchor speakers at this inaugural event that is drawing together for the first time the entire Los Angeles-based live-television-production community.

Campbell has overall responsibility for ABC's eight TV stations and their digital assets in New York; Los Angeles; Chicago; Philadelphia; San Francisco; Houston; Raleigh-Durham, NC; and Fresno, CA. In addition, she oversees ABC National Television Sales, and the hit syndicated series LIVE with Kelly and Michael, which is produced at WABC-TV New York. She is based in Burbank and reports to Anne Sweeney, co-chair, Disney Media Networks, and president, Disney/ABC Television Group.

Local stations are the standard-bearers of live television with their extensive live news coverage and live-to-tape entertainment programming, says Jessell. As local markets now distribute content over a range of new digital and social-media outlets, live coverage of breaking news and local events is what truly draws viewers and distinguishes great broadcast journalism. Rebecca's experience on the station level will provide unique insights into how live production remains a key driver of today's local-television business.

The conference has been developed by the most respected media sources in television Sports Video Group (SVG), TVNewsCheck, Variety, and Variety 411 and is drawing hundreds of attendees, representing production companies at the forefront of today's Live-TV-social-media revolution.
