Welcome to NATPE 2013

THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE CELEBRATES 50 YEARS

It is not just about syndication anymore, of course, with the annual National Association of Television Program Executives (NATPE) conference a breeding ground for the worldwide television community. Recognized as a valuable meet and greet for buyers, sellers, marketers, advertisers and financers – anyone and everyone who has a stake in the business of global media – the three-day conference, which is back in Miami Beach today through Wednesday, is synonymous with the word access. There is no better arena to network.

In the tradition of the days of when stations –- or station groups — went to NATPE to specifically buy syndicated programming, here is a complete listing of the new first-run and off-network product available for the 2013-14 season.
