A lineup of radio industry executives and financial experts will discuss the business impact — and opportunities — of significant regulatory changes affecting radio. “Pillsbury’s Broadcast Finance 2019: Radio Unleashed — Preparing for a New Regulatory World,” will be hosted by Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, and take place Tuesday, September 24, 4:00-5:30 p.m. at the Radio Show in Dallas, Texas. It will be moderated by Scott Flick, a partner at Pillsbury.
“That the FCC is recognizing radio’s challenges where listeners’ audio alternatives — and the competition for ears and advertisers — have grown exponentially, may be as big a game-changer as the new competition itself,” said Flick, who will lead a conversation on how radio stations can adapt their operations and better compete in a more relaxed regulatory environment.
This year’s panel features Bill Hendrich, Executive VP of Radio, Cox Media Group; Garret Komjathy, SVP of Media and Communications, U.S. Bank; Beth Neuhoff, President and CEO, Neuhoff Communications; Susan Patrick, Managing Partner of Patrick Communications and co-owner of Legend Communications; and David Santrella, President of Broadcast Media, Salem Media Group.
Kevin Perry, President and CEO of Perry Publishing & Broadcasting, will introduce the session, and Davis Hebert, Director and Senior High Yield Analyst, Wells Fargo Securities, will precede the panel with a visual presentation on the current financial state of the radio industry.
