The CEOs of the three largest radio broadcast groups -- iHeartMedia, Entercom and Cumulus Media -- will headline a special session focused on the future of the industry during the Radio Show luncheon program on Wednesday, September 25. The session, entitled "2020 and Beyond: Insights From the Top," will feature Cumulus' Mary Berner, Entercom's David Field and iHeartMedia's Bob Pittman in a candid conversation exploring strategies for success in today's constantly shifting audio landscape.

NBC News' Stephanie Ruhle will moderate the panel which will offer insight on tactical partnerships, best platform choices, talent recruitment, imaginative programming and creative sales approaches. Ruhle appears across all NBC News and MSNBC platforms and hosts major weekday programs, "MSNBC Live With Stephanie Ruhle" and "MSNBC Live With Velshi & Ruhle." Since joining MSNBC, she has interviewed titans in politics, business, entertainment and sports.

As previously announced, NRG Media Chairman and CEO Mary Quass will receive the National Radio Award during the program and Madison Ryann Ward will perform as part of the BMI Songwriters Spotlight Series.
