"If you know anything about television, you probably know Alan Wolk.” That’s how Adweek describes the co-founder of leading media analyst firm TVREV and best-selling author of Over The Top. How The Internet Is (Slowly But Surely) Changing The Television Industry.

It's safe to say that Wolk, a much sought-after writer, speaker and consultant, has established himself as one of the industry's most influential thought leaders. By focusing on the intersection of streaming and advertising, Wolk—who coined the acronym FAST (free ad-supported streaming TV) and his TVREV colleagues have helped make the firm one of the media industry’s go-to resources as it attempts to process the changes brought about by the shift to streaming.

A contributing writer at Forbes, NextTV, StreamTV Insider and other industry news sites, Wolk has been interviewed and quoted by everyone from NPR to The New York Times and is a regular guest on Cheddar TV, offering expert opinion on breaking stories in the media industry.
