Realscreen and NATPE, two decades-old TV trade shows, have been shuttered by their owner, Brunico, which blamed “ongoing industry consolidation.”
Kidscreen, an event focused on children’s entertainment, is also being discontinued.
In an announcement, Brunico called the decision “difficult, but necessary.” The Toronto-based company noted that it marks a withdrawal from U.S.-based events, but it will convene the 47th annual Banff World Media Festival in the mountains of Western Canada in June.
The news was accompanied by another sign of the times, as global TV trade publication World Screen said Tuesday it would be ceasing publication after 40 years. The news was relayed to readers in a brief farewell note by President and Publisher Ricardo Guise.
Broadcasting & Cable and Multichannel News, two other media brands that also chronicled the television business for decades, folded in 2024.
