Entercom President and CEO David Field will receive the National Radio Award during the Radio Luncheon on Wednesday, September 6, at this year’s Radio Show in Austin. Prior to becoming Entercom’s president in 1998, Field served in multiple positions with the company, including chief operating officer and chief financial officer. Before joining Entercom, he was an investment banker at Goldman, Sachs & Co. in New York.
NAB Executive Vice President of Radio John David said, “David’s passion for radio and business savvy have led Entercom to new heights. We look forward to recognizing him for his continuous dedication and significant contributions to the business.”
Field has received numerous awards for his leadership and community service and has been named to Institutional Investor’s list of the Best CEOs in America three times. He serves on the boards of directors of Entercom, the National Constitution Center, The Wilderness Society, and on the Madison Council of the Library of Congress. Field has also served as chairman of the NAB Radio Board.
In February, Entercom announced a merger with CBS Radio that will make it the second-largest radio broadcaster.
The 2017 Radio Show, produced by the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) and the Radio Advertising Bureau (RAB), will be held September 5-8 in Austin.
