The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) has announced that James (Jimmy) F. Goodmon, Jr., vice president and general manager of Capitol Broadcasting Company (CBC) New Media Group, is to receive the first ever Digital Leadership Award during the 2015 NAB Show.

The award will be presented during the Technology Luncheon, sponsored by LG, on Wednesday 15 April in Las Vegas.

In his position with CBC New Media Group, Goodmon develops strategies for emerging business opportunities, in addition to overseeing acquisitions, investments and start up projects. Under Goodmon's direction, CBC New Media was one of the first companies to deliver over-the-air digital signals to mobile devices, and was also successful in building patented technology to help broadcasters confine their streaming TV signals to the local designated market areas (DMA).

In addition, Goodmon serves as vice president and general manager of Sunrise Broadcasting, a five-station radio cluster, and WILM-TV, both located in Wilmington, NC. He also oversees WRAL-FM and Microspace Communications in Raleigh. Goodmon is a member of CBC's Board of Directors and serves on the executive committee.

The Digital Leadership Award is designed to recognize an individual at a broadcast station, group or network who has had a significant role in transforming a traditional broadcast business to succeed on digital media platforms in a measurable way. Consideration is given to use of technology, mobile applications, social media, and/or web-based information management and marketing.

An external committee of senior digital executives from internet distribution, media measurement, finance, academia and broadcast companies reviewed the nominees and selected the winner.

The Technology Luncheon will also include keynote remarks by cybersecurity expert John McAfee and the presentation of the NAB Engineering Awards.
