Veteran former CBS News Radio executive, Harvey Nagler, sits down with David Field and Bob Pittman for what is sure to be an eye-opening and fascinating close to a day of deep-dive discussions and informed conversation.

As Chairman and CEO of iHeartMedia, Bob Pittman heads up the number one audio company in the U.S. with a greater reach than any other media company in the country. iHeartMedia includes over 850 broadcast radio stations, digital, podcasts, outdoor, mobile, social, data, live events, and on-demand entertainment.

And David Field, Chairman, President, and CEO of Entercom, sits at the helm of some of the most widely respected brand names in major markets across the country, as well as a huge sports radio franchise. These two leaders are, without question, the two most powerful individuals in the radio industry. Field was #2 on the Radio Ink Top 40 Most Powerful People in Radio list this year.
