Dunham+Company says the digital advertising landscape has seen significant shifts in 2024, with some platforms surging ahead and others facing a decline. Over-the-top (OTT) advertising has experienced remarkable growth, capturing billions of dollars in ad spend as brands look for new ways to engage audiences through streaming platforms like Hulu and PlutoTV. At the same time, the social media advertising space is evolving, with Instagram and TikTok gaining market share while Facebook’s dominance shows signs of softening. These trends reveal the growing importance of choosing the right advertising platforms to maximize reach and effectively target diverse demographics in today’s digital environment.

HisAir INDUSTRY NEWS FLASHBACK – Oct 23, 2019
Val Kvamme, wife of KTIG/Pequot Lakes (The Word) morning show host Phil Kvamme, was diagnosed with breast cancer this summer and is currently undergoing treatment. In a show of support, and to bring awareness to the issue, each of the male staff members had their head shaved. This includes General Manager Ric McClary, Kvamme, and the rest of the station on-air staff — Randy Kennedy, Aaron Pearson, Dave Wonders, and Joe Ledford. When they learned about Val Kvamme’s diagnosis, what to do next wasn’t a real head-scratcher for the staff members.
