The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) has launched a new weekly podcast, AirTime, focused on legislative and regulatory issues affecting local radio and television stations.
New episodes will be released every Wednesday morning, offering updates and analysis on policy developments in Washington and their impact on broadcasters and the communities they serve.
NAB Chief of Staff and Executive Vice President of Public Affairs Michelle Lehman said the podcast is designed to connect policy decisions with their real-world effects on local stations, particularly in areas such as news coverage, emergency information and public service.
The debut episode features Jon Miller, President of Acquisitions and Partnerships at NBC Sports, in conversation with John Ourand at NAB Show. The discussion focuses on the role of broadcast television in delivering live sports, including its reach for major events and the ongoing policy debate over keeping games available free over the air.
The podcast also ties into NAB's broader advocacy efforts, including its "Game On" campaign, and aims to highlight how policy decisions shape access to trusted news and information in a changing media environment.
