The Paley Center for Media Unveils Spectacular Fall Season at The Paley Museum 

(NEW YORK, NY)  The Paley Center for Media announces its much-anticipated fall season of best-in-class programming, impactful series, and industry-facing events celebrating media, sports, gaming, and entertainment at The Paley Museum, located in the heart of midtown at 25 West 52 Street between 5th and 6th Avenues. This year’s iconic PaleyFest NY, the premier television event of the New York fall season, will showcase exclusive television screenings, red carpets, and behind-the-scenes discussions with a selection from some of the best and brightest in entertainment, broadcast news, daytime, and unscripted television. The festival, which will run from Wednesday, October 11 through Tuesday, October 17, announces an early lineup featuring Live with Kelly and Mark and Shark Tank, with the full festival lineup to be announced and tickets on sale for Paley and Citi cardmembers on Tuesday, September 12. PaleyFest Fall TV Previews begin streaming on Tuesday, September 19 for Paley Members and Friday, September 22 for the general public.

Football takes the spotlight once again on Thursday, September 28 with Prime-Time Champions: An Evening with NBC Sunday Night Football moderated by Savannah Guthrie, Co-anchor of TODAY and NBC News Chief Legal Correspondent; and featuring NBC Sports’ prominent commentators and producers for an in-depth discussion on the evolution of the show and the game on everyone’s mind that weekend. The sports momentum continues into Hispanic Heritage Month with A Paley Tribute to Roberto Clemente: The Legend of #21. The Paley Center for Media worked with Major League Baseball, the Roberto Clemente Foundation, and expert collector Paul Kutch, to bring together personal and cultural artifacts that help tell the story of the charismatic Roberto Clemente, one of the best right fielders who ever lived. Fifty years ago, Clemente was the first Latin American baseball player inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame and the Paley exhibit opens on September 15, the same day that the MLB celebrates Clemente’s life and legacy with Roberto Clemente Day. The fall season at The Paley Museum continues with two PaleyImpact events exploring Media’s Role in Combating Antisemitism. The first, Fighting Antisemitism Through Tech, will take place on Tuesday, September 19, and features distinguished experts representing the fields of tech, media, education, and the historical preservation of the Holocaust discussing the innovative ways AI, Gaming, Augmented Reality, and Virtual Reality are becoming significant tools in the fight against antisemitism. On Wednesday, October 25, a highly anticipated special screening of David Baddiel: Jews Don’t Count will be hosted at The Paley Museum followed by a conversation with the renowned writer and special guests featured in the documentary. In this provocative film adaptation of his bestselling book of the same title, British comedian and writer David Baddiel explores the spread of unchecked antisemitism and why he believes Jews are too often overlooked in current discussions and policies addressing racism. 

The Paley Impact series exploring Media’s Role in Combating Antisemitism is made possible by the generous support of Ronald S. Lauder. The Paley Media Council’s industry-facing events offer the highest caliber thought-leadership, discussions, and access to leading media industry executives and global leaders beginning Thursday, September 21 with the season’s first PaleyDialogue, A Conversation with William J. Burns, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency; and continues November 7 and 8 with what’s been referred to as the “Davos of Media,” the 29th Annual Paley International Council Summit. The discussions at this year’s Summit will focus on Breaking Boundaries: How New Ideas are Reshaping Media addressing topical issues in tech, media, and business, among many others. The agenda and full list of speakers will be announced next week. The Paley International Council Summit is made possible through the generous support of William S. Paley Foundation, Hearst, Nielsen, and Verizon.“We are thrilled to unveil an exceptional array of programming for the fall season at The Paley Museum,” said Maureen J.
