The Broadcasters Foundation of America’s Media Mixer series is returning to Chicago, timed to coincide with Radio Hall of Fame weekend, and junior professionals will get quite an opportunity: face time with iHeartMedia Chairman and CEO Bob Pittman.
The Media Mixer series has become one of broadcasting’s foremost networking events for young broadcasters, with successful gatherings held in New York, Los Angeles, Cleveland, and more.
Pittman, one of this year’s Hall of Fame inductees, will participate in a Q&A with Premiere Networks’ nationally syndicated morning host Chris “Fred” Frederick of The Fred Show, from Chicago flagship 103.5 KISS FM (WKSC). The Media Mixer will also highlight the Museum of Broadcast Communications’ interactive exhibit, The Evolution of Late-Night Television.
Attendance is free thanks to event sponsors, including the Illinois Broadcasters Association. Space is limited, and registration is required; radio and television professionals can secure a seat via the Broadcasters Foundation of America website.
Broadcasters Foundation of America President Tim McCarthy said, “With many executives in Chicago for the next night’s Radio Hall of Fame, we expect this to be our most exciting Media Mixer to date! We are especially thankful to Bob for giving us his time and providing this rare opportunity for junior professionals to meet and interact with him.”
