NAB Unveils 'AirTime' Podcast With Weekly Policy Insights For Local Broadcasters
The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) has launched a new podcast, AirTime, offering timely updates on developments affecting the broadcast industry. New episodes will publish every Wednesday morning, spotlighting legislative and regulatory changes that impact local television and radio. The debut instalment, available now, examines Washington's interest in keeping live sport on broadcast TV.
"Local broadcasters are on the front lines of informing communities, whether it is breaking news, severe weather or the issues shaping our democracy," said NAB Chief of Staff and Executive Vice President of Public Affairs Michelle Lehman. "AirTime is about connecting those real-world impacts to the policy decisions being made in Washington and ensuring our industry, policymakers and the public understand what is at stake. When local stations are strong, so are the communities we serve."
AirTime will provide context on the policy choices shaping the future of local broadcasting and their implications for communities' access to trusted news and emergency information. As the media landscape evolves rapidly, the series underscores broadcasters' essential public service role and the need for supportive policies.
The first episode features insights from Jon Miller, president of Acquisitions and Partnerships at NBC Sports, in conversation with Puck's John Ourand at NAB Show. He explains why broadcast television remains crucial to the future of live sport, citing its unmatched ability to deliver huge audiences for major events. The discussion also delves into the policy debate over sports rights, the importance of keeping games available free over the air and NAB's Game On campaign.
Listeners can follow AirTime on their favourite podcast platform to stay informed about the latest policy debates shaping the broadcast business.
