\u201cChristy is one of OTT\u2019s vanguard executives, and her particular news focus makes her insights into streaming\u2019s monetization potential for news organizations all the more valuable\u201d said Michael Depp,\u00a0TVNewsCheck<\/em> editor. \u201cCBS\u2019s rollout of local streaming news channels has continued apace despite the pandemic, and her experience launching new markets under these challenging conditions gives her an invaluable vantage point.\u201d<\/p>\n
