Today I had the privilege of sitting down with some of our incredible frontline teammates at?News 12 New Jersey?for a roundtable discussion. These conversations are always a highlight for me, as they provide a chance to listen, learn, and exchange ideas about how we can continue to elevate?News 12?as the leading hyperlocal news network for our viewers. The energy, camaraderie, and collaboration in the NJ newsroom is truly inspiring. The takeaways: ?? Hyperlocal Focus Drives Impact: Staying deeply connected to the communities we serve ensures our content is relevant, authentic, and meaningful. ?? Frontline Insights Are Invaluable: Regular conversations with frontline teammates provide critical perspectives that help shape strategy and improve operations. ?? Collaboration Fuels Success: A culture of camaraderie and teamwork is essential for achieving shared goals and fostering innovation. We also gathered for a watch party to tune into our?Optimum?quarterly All Hands meeting, hosted by our Chairman and CEO,?Dennis Mathew. It was a powerful reminder of the shared mission that unites us across the organization. Dennis’ vision for the future – rooted in innovation, growth, and a commitment to our teammates, customers and communities – left us all energized and motivated. These moments of connection – whether in a roundtable discussion or a company-wide gathering – are what make #TeamOptimum so strong. #LocalMatters #SecretSauce
