Radio and Television Business Report

What Radio and Television Business Report does

Radio and Television Business Report, doing business as RBR+TVBR (legal entity Streamline RBR, Inc., Florida), is a privately held trade publication founded in 1983 that delivers daily financial and regulatory coverage of the U.S. radio, television, and digital entertainment industries. The publication is owned by Streamline Publishing Inc., which acquired it in 2013, and positions itself as the "No. 1 source of news From Washington to Wall Street" for broadcast professionals, with editorial leadership under Editor-in-Chief Adam Jacobson and President/Publisher Deborah Parenti. Coverage spans FCC regulatory developments, station transactions, broadcasting stocks, advertising trends, executive moves, and technology — produced by correspondents across multiple U.S. markets (Boca Raton, Northern Virginia, Dayton, New York, San Luis Obispo, Maui, Delray Beach) and Toronto.

The core product is a daily online publication at rbr.com supported by an afternoon newsletter (The Daily Intelligence Report) and a Weekly Tech Roundup. Adjacent products include the InFOCUS Podcast — launched in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic and transitioned to a video podcast on YouTube via Streamyard in early 2025, with a back catalog of more than 300 episodes — a Radio & TV Classifieds job board, and a paid Premium Membership. The business operates a freemium go-to-market: a layer of free content (newsletter, partial site access) drives top-of-funnel acquisition, with Premium Membership required for full access to exclusive news, intelligence briefs, and interviews. Technology is a standard digital media publishing stack (WordPress-based CMS, email newsletter delivery, RSS, and podcast syndication to Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, iHeartRadio, Podchaser, Deezer, and YouTube), with no disclosed proprietary platform, AI/ML capabilities, or integrations. Headcount is reported at 11–50 employees and revenue is not publicly disclosed.
