Bonneville CEO To Head NAB Search
The top executive at Bonneville International, which owns WTOP in Washington and a number of radio stations in other markets, will chair the search committee to find the National Association of Broadcasters' new leader. Other members of the NAB's executive committee will join Bonneville's Bruce Reese on the panel. It is unknown whether NAB will employ assistance from outside the organization. They hired search firm Spencer Stewart to find former NAB chief David Rehr, who stepped down earlier this month after three years on the job. Rehr joined the NAB in December 2005 from the National Beer Wholesalers Association, where he had been CEO. While the search committee does its magic, NAB Chief Operating Officer Janet McGregor has assumed day-to-day duties. The trade group is searching for its next captain amid choppy seas. The industry faces a number of critical and thorny public policy issues, including the digital television transition (slated for June 12) and a feud with the music industry over royalty fees for AM and FM radio.
