After the election dust has settled, a new administration will be taking the reins of the nation’s regulatory agencies. How will a new FCC treat radio? Will there be opportunities for reform of broadcast-ownership rules under a new Congress and new FCC?
Who are the likely candidates to lead the FCC, and who will chair key House and Senate committees? Will we see changes in policy on issues such as net neutrality, or even see the reconstituted FCC or Congress require FM chips in smartphones?
Forecast 2017 addresses these concerns in a can’t-miss, off-the-record conversation between NAB President/CEO Gordon Smith and Washington, DC attorney Frank Montero.
“Those of us who closely follow legal and financial developments in broadcasting have always flocked to Forecast to hear the experts opine on what to expect in the radio industry,” says Montero. “In the wake of this contentious political season, radio broadcasters especially need a crystal ball to see what lies ahead. I look forward to the opportunity of hearing Senator Smith’s insight on what might be in store for broadcasters under a new administration.”
This discussion promises frank, candid observations on how the system
really works from the vantage point of someone who’s been on both sides of the table: Gordon Smith spent two terms in the U.S. Senate before taking the lead at the NAB, and he knows firsthand which concerns and influences actually guide our elected officials. He understands the hidden reasons behind decisions that sometimes baffle our industry. This insight must stay “inside the room” at Forecast — it’s for your ears only.
In addition to the Forecast financial conference, all registered attendees are admitted to the annual “Top 40” cocktail reception, a prestigious event in itself, honoring Radio Ink’s 40 Most Powerful People in Radio.
