CES 2023: Where Are All the Radios?

Originally streamed January 31, 2023

The annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas is the place to be for what’s “next” in consumer technology… but where is broadcast in the consumer marketplace? How will consumers be consuming content in the coming years? What other technologies are getting a lot of attention? Shane Toven paid a visit to the 2023 CES and shares his impressions on what he did (and didn’t) see.
