A panel of industry executives and experts will discuss the impact of deregulation and large-scale debt reduction on the radio industry in a session titled "Pillsbury's Broadcast Finance 2018: Radio's Debt Cloud Finally Lifts" at the 2018 Radio Show. The session will be held Wednesday, September 26 from 8:30-10am in Orlando.

Now in its 28th year, the session is again hosted by law firm Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, with breakfast provided by Media Services Group. Scott Flick, a partner at Pillsbury, will lead a discussion on a variety of issues affecting the economic outlook for radio in the coming year, including the prospects for media ownership deregulation and the extent to which debt reductions by major radio groups may impact investor interest in radio.

This year's panelists include Beasley Media Group CEO Caroline Beasley, Hubbard Radio Chair Ginny Morris and Townsquare Media co-CEO Dhruv Prasad. Wells Fargo Securities managing director and senior equity analyst Marci Ryvicker will provide opening remarks and join in the panel discussion.

Produced by the Radio Advertising Bureau (RAB) and the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), the Radio Show takes place September 25-28 at the Hilton Bonnet Creek and the Waldorf-Astoria Orlando.
