TheStreet newsroom will focus on premium content in 2018

David Callaway

Here are comments that TheStreet.com chief executive officer David Callaway made Monday on its earnings conference call:

A series of tech enhancements and some new important vendors starting to come online in the next few months will help us shift to a major focus on premium in the newsroom in coming months and should help us turn the corner early next year.
Consumer events are also funding their footing. Last month, Jim hosted a Saturday Teach-In for some 200 of our valued premium subscribers and other investors at the Harvard Club in New York. This will be reflected in our Q4 numbers and you can expect more of these, perhaps across the country in 2018.
Folks, when the new management team and new board came on early last year, our goals were to get the Company back to profit, begin growing all the businesses again, get Jim excited enough about our prospects to sign on for a new stent and importantly take care of the TCV overhang. We have now accomplished all of those.
Now we turn our attention to getting premium firing on all cylinders, so that all of our businesses can work off each other and benefit the entire company and you, our shareholders as we always hoped they would.
