NAB Holds Summer Board of Directors Meetings


NAB's board of directors met this week for its regularly scheduled summer board meeting. NAB Joint Board Chairman Paul Karpowicz, president of Meredith Corporation-Local Media Group, nominated Gordon Smith as NAB President/CEO. Also nominated were Joy Whitlow as NAB secretary/treasurer and Charles Warfield, YMF Media President/COO, as NAB joint board chairman. All were approved unanimously by the board.

John Beck, Emmis/St. Louis Senior VP/Market Manager, was re-elected as the Radio Board's first vice chairman by unanimous vote. Jose Valle, Univision Radio president, was re-elected second vice chairman and Dan Mason, CBS Radio President/CEO, was re-elected to the Radio Board's major group representative seat.

NAB Executive VP/Radio John David provided an update to the Radio Board on membership initiatives and NAB Show highlights. David also updated the Radio Board on plans for the 2013 Radio Show, and Chris Brown reported on the status of sales and sponsorships for the event. The Radio Show will take place September 18-20 in Orlando.

Kelly Cole briefed the Radio Board on the performance fee issue, highlighting the growing support for the Local Radio Freedom Act. Gordon Smith pointed out that privately negotiated free market agreements occurring between radio companies and record labels demonstrate lack of need for legislation on this issue. Cole said NAB will continue to engage with House and Senate Judiciary Committees on the performance tax issue.

Jane Mago commended FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai's public support for AM Radio "revitalization" and outlined possible short and long-term initiatives being considered for AM Radio. Ben Downs followed with a presentation detailing initiatives, solutions and challenges related to AM Radio.
