AFFINITY X : DIGITAL 101 WEBINAR

An announcement was made during KBA's annual conference that that the Board of Directors had voted to partner with Affinity X to launch a new digital service for KBA member stations. The announcement gave a brief overview of the new service.
In coming weeks, we will be sharing video webinars from Affinity X to take a deeper dive into the new service, how it works, the products available and the potential for new revenue at your station.
This week however, we wanted to begin with a brief elementary introduction into the world of digital. We call this... DIGITAL 101... take a look.
