  1. Weekly output: tech for creators, Xfinity Mobile plans, how 1Password eyes AI, cheaper NextGen TV tuners

    This coming week will not be like the last six and change because my calendar has me sleeping in my own bed every night. That is an exciting prospect after a string of trips that took me to Austin, L.A., Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, San Jose and Las Vegas… but this workweek isn’t free of travel, as I’m taking a day trip to NYC for Uber’s Go-Get press event Wednesday.

    4/21/2026: Out and About with Jefferson and Jules, NAB Show

    I went to the National Association of Broadcasters’ conference for the first time since 2015 for about the same reason as that previous trip: speaking on a panel. This one featured my former USA Today colleague Jefferson Graham and travel journalist Juliana Broste (the last name rhymes with “frosty”) talking about the tools they use to take and share photos and videos from interesting places. Having two people well-versed in speaking on camera on the same stage made my job as a panel moderator easy.

    4/22/2026: Comcast Adds 2 Premium Xfinity Mobile Plans With Global Roaming Included, PCMag

    This post was kind of a disaster, in that Comcast’s embargoed press release left out important details about these new plans and then my PR contact provided also-unhelpful answers to my questions. After seeing the details of these plans Wednesday morning, I rewrote a large chunk of the post from the United lounge at LAS before boarding my flight out of Vegas.

    4/23/2026: 1Password sees AI as both threat and tool, Fast Company

    I interviewed 1Password’s new chief technology officer Nancy Wang in the speaker lounge at HumanX in San Francisco as that room was getting closed down at the end of that conference. I did not write up the interview that night, as I was meeting an old friend for dinner, and then did not get around to writing the story on the flight home.

    4/24/2026: NextGen TV Backers Aim to Advance the Standard With Cheaper Converter Boxes, PCMag

    I returned to the topic of this upgrade to broadcast TV (also known as “ATSC 3.0”) for the first time since 2024 (I think) to cover an initiative aired at NAB to lower the cost of watching NextGen TV broadcasts on sets without compatible tuners. Most new TVs still fall under that description, which is not something I would have predicted four years ago.

  3. 📺 After nearly 3 decades, #NBCUniversal has canceled #AccessHollywood. Our show has interviewed current hosts Mario Lopez & Scott Evans from that series.

    What are your feelings on the end of this show?

  4. Who else is embarrassed for #WTHR? The #CircleOfLights broadcast is so bad. Just as the lights were about to be turned on, they went to a Riley Children’s Hospital commercial not once, but TWICE, and missed the lights being turned on. The overall production value was way down from past years.

    Shame on #Tegna. #LocalJournalism deserves better than all the cuts and layoffs.

  6. #BroadcastTV Is a 'Melting Ice Cube.’ #Kimmel Just Turned Up the Heat

    After #Sinclair and #Nexstar pulled #JimmyKimmel off air, the old affiliate model looks shakier than ever. Even #Disney might do better without #broadcast.

  12. The speech police: Chairman Brendan Carr & the FCC’s news #distortion policy

    #FCC Chairman Brendan Carr is taking a hard line against #broadcastTV stations accused of #bias against #Republicans & Pres #Trump. To pressure broadcasters, Carr is invoking the rarely enforced #news distortion policy that was developed starting in the late 1960s & says the FCC should consider revoking #broadcast licenses.

    Do you remember this iconic intro from the 70s?
