BFOA Honors Jordan Wertlieb with the Golden Mic Award
RADIO ONLINE | Tuesday, March 5, 2024 |
Two-hundred-and-seventy-five radio & television executives and celebrities gathered at the Plaza Hotel in New York Monday night to honor Jordan Wertlieb, Executive VP & COO of Hearst with the 2024 BFOA Golden Mic Award and Deborah Norville, anchor of Inside Edition and 23-year member of the Broadcasters Foundation Board of Directors, with the 2024 Edward F. McLaughlin Lifetime Achievement Award. The annual gala is a major fundraiser for BFOA, which provides financial assistance to broadcasters in acute need.
The evening saw the return of broadcast journalist and syndicated talk host Soledad O'Brien as emcee. A performance by Pete Caldera entertained the audience with renditions of Frank Sinatra standards, including a dedication of "I Did It My Way" to Phil Lombardo, the longtime Chairman and then Chairman Emeritus of the BFOA, who died in January.
The Broadcasters Foundation has distributed more than $15 million dollars in aid over the past 20 years. This year, the Foundation will award approximately $1.8 million. For more information on the Broadcasters Foundation, to donate or apply for aid, visit here.
