NAB Nabs Baker, Clyburn For Radio Summit

September 2, 2009

baker_clyburn.jpgThe National Association of Broadcasters has nabbed the FCC's two newest commissioners -- Republican Meredith Baker and Democrat Mignon Clyburn -- to speak at the trade group's upcoming radio conference held Sept. 23-25 in Philadelphia. Commissioners Baker and Clyburn, who attended their first FCC meeting last week, are expected to discuss regulatory issues impacting the radio business and their priorities as new members of the agency. Baker most served as acting administrator of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration in the Bush administration and Clyburn joined the FCC from the Public Service Commission of South Carolina.

Other notables speaking at NAB's Radio Show include Scott Goodstein, who most recently served as external online director for President Obama's presidential campaign, as well as a number of broadcasting executives from Clear Channel Communications, Radio One, Emmis Communications, Saga Communications, Spanish Broadcasting System, Regent Communications, ICBC Broadcast Holdings and others. R&B artist Brian McKnight, who hosts his own show on Citadel Media Networks, will also perform during the NAB Marconi Radio Awards Dinner on Thursday, Sept. 24.
