FreeCast Debuts Broadcast-Enabled Streaming Television (BEST) For a New Media Era
ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FreeCast is unveiling a new offering for its programming partners that leverages cutting-edge advancements in both broadcast and streaming technologies. Known as Broadcast-Enabled Streaming Television or 'BEST' Channels, this initiative empowers content providers of all sizes to deliver a high-quality, unified viewing experience across both over-the-air and digital streaming platforms. While consumers have embraced streaming FAST channels, their growth has slowed as the market has become saturated. Meanwhile, the new broadcast standard, ATSC 3.0, has been underutilized despite its ability to integrate advanced features into free over-the-air channels. For local broadcast TV stations, diginets, FAST channel providers, and other small programmers, navigating the transition from traditional TV to a new era in media, embracing BEST Channels could be a compelling solution. The major broadcast networks and leading media companies have invested billions in building proprietary streaming platforms, often with mixed results, and many smaller content creators lack the resources to follow suit. For these programmers, a strategic technology partnership with FreeCast could be key to staying competitive as the media landscape continues to shift. FreeCast's recent expansion into the Caribbean market has showcased the power of its integrated broadcast and streaming solution. Now, the company is prepared to scale that success globally and domestically, offering an essential path forward for content providers seeking reach and relevance. FreeCast CEO William Mobley discussed the opportunity: 'The media industry has gotten expensive to compete in, and that's not good for anyone. One of our missions at FreeCast is to reduce some of those barriers. That's why we've invested in technology that other media businesses can easily plug in to. With BEST Channels, we've seen how this can work in a region dominated by small programmers, so now we're ready to take what we've learned and roll it out more widely, both in the United States and beyond.'

The Social Institute Launches New Offline Lessons for K-2 to Build Foundation for Thoughtful Decision-Making
BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Social Institute announced today the launch of its new Kindergarten through 2nd grade offline lessons, expanding its pioneering modern life skills education to empower all K-12 students at schools and districts. 'As the conversation grows around how technology should be used in schools, having a curriculum that helps educators teach the skills that students will need to navigate this topic is essential,' says Dr. Jessica Anderson, school and clinical psychologist. The new screen-free lessons are designed to build a foundation for treating others with kindness, making good choices, and handling situations in respectful ways, effectively equipping young students for future success, both online and offline. This expansion comes as educators nationwide recognize the critical need to start essential skill-building at earlier ages. The new K-2 lessons focus on developing foundational skills like empathy, emotional regulation, and decision-making through hands-on, engaging activities that require no screen time or technology. 'As the conversation grows around how technology should be used in schools, having a curriculum that helps educators teach the skills that students will need to navigate this topic is essential,' says Dr. Jessica Anderson, licensed school and clinical psychologist. The developmentally appropriate lessons address the growing demand from elementary schools seeking to proactively equip their youngest students with modern life skills. The #WinAtSocial K–2 lessons are completely offline. These screen-free, hands-on experiences are designed specifically for younger learners, who benefit most from active, play-based learning on topics like balancing their time spent on YouTube versus playing outside with friends. "K-2 is such a formative time when students are like sponges, absorbing everything around them," said Laura Tierney, Founder and CEO of The Social Institute. "By starting with these foundational skills early, we're setting students up for success as they grow and eventually encounter the online world. These offline lessons create the perfect launching pad for our peer-to-peer #WinAtSocial Lessons in later grades that are designed to grow up with students." The new K-2 curriculum has been developed alongside The Social Institute's educator advisory board, internal elementary experts, and K–2 families and is designed to: Build Character from the Start: Lessons build a foundation for thoughtful decision-making that aligns with health, happiness, and future academic success. Fuel Future-Ready Skills: Activities help young students practice skills like decision-making, empathy, and emotional regulation before they start to scroll, click, or play. Inspire Fun, Unplugged Learning: Fuel confidence, creativity, and character with hands-on, screen-free lessons and activities. Connect Classrooms and Familie s: Reinforce key life skills beyond the classroom with take-home activities that build strong connections between students, schools, and families. Equip Busy Educators: Simple, impactful lessons require no extra training – just print and play. The new K-2 Lessons build the groundwork for students who will later participate in The Social Institute's #WinAtSocial Curriculum, which currently serves hundreds of thousands of students in grades 3-12 worldwide. Additionally, The Social Institute announces a brand-new experience for high school students for the 2025-2026 school year. The reimagined #WinAtSocial Lessons for grades 9-12 fuel student voice and choice with agency-building lesson topics and formats to prepare high school students for their futures. As students advance from one grade to the next, the topics evolve to cover what students care about most right now, including how to use A.I. with purpose, manage stress, and stay organized. New features include: Student-Driven Learning: Students are able to choose their next lesson topic and engage with content that reflects their goals, interests, and values. More Face-To-Face Interaction: With 80% of lesson time spent on in-person engagement and only 20% of lessons spent on device use, students foster deeper relationships and critical thinking while reducing screen time. Building Communication Skills: Prepare students for future success with lessons that emphasize eye contact, collaboration, and interpersonal skills that fuel their success beyond screens and their classrooms. Automatic Breakout Groups: Create screen-free moments to help students stay present, minimize distractions, and fully engaged without awkward pauses during class time. 'We see first-hand that students are most engaged when they have a say in their learning, so we're amplifying student agency by empowering them to take ownership of how they learn with 'Choose Your Next Huddle,'' said Tierney. 'During #WinAtSocial Huddles, students spend the majority of each lesson collaborating and problem-solving, not staring at a screen. That means more connection and deeper learning.' The K-2 offline lessons are available for the 2025-2026 school year. Schools and districts interested in implementing a complete K-12 modern life skills approach can combine the new K-2 offline lessons with The Social Institute's established and always evolving suite of solutions for grades 3-12. All lessons are created with the Understanding by Design® framework.

As a result of the Fed's rate hikes in 2022 and 2023, inflation has come down from frothy levels post-pandemic. The general rise in the price of goods and services is trending towards the Fed's 2% goal as of late, which is good news. The higher rates that fought inflation also didn't slow economic activity enough to catalyze a recession. So far, soft landing. This, combined with recent rate cuts (half a percent in September 2024 and a quarter percent in November 2024) have led to strong stock market performance in 2024. The icing on the cake for 2024 returns was Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. Presidential Election in early November, sending major indices to all-time highs in the week following the election. Still, debates around the health of the economy and the impact of potential tariffs and corporate tax cuts remain, leaving much uncertainty around 2025.
