)
The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) is a US trade association that advocates on behalf of over 8,300 radio and television stations and networks before Congress, the Federal Communications Commission and various judicial bodies. Its current president and CEO is David K. Rehr.
NAB's annual spring convention, the Electronic Media Show, and its annual NAB Radio Show are attended by over 110,00 industry professionals.
Similar organizations exist in individual U.S. states, including GAB, the Georgia Association of Broadcasters in Georgia. Its counterpart in Canada is CAB, the Canadian Association of Broadcasters.
Criticism
Many satellite radio enthusiasts have criticized the group for lobbying against legislation approvals for those services. The NAB protested the FCC's approval of both satellite radio services in the United States, XM and Sirius, and furthermore criticized the 2007 proposed merger between the two companies.[1]Along with National Public Radio, the National Association of Broadcasters supported the Radio Broadcasting Preservation Act of 2000, which restricted the FCC's establishment of a low power FM radio (LPFM) service designed to permit community radio stations which could provide local news and public affairs broadcasting from within neighborhoods and small towns[2]. They were concerned that an LPFM station could be placed too close to an existing station, causing "oceans of interference". Congress passed the Radio Broadcasting Preservation Act and, as part of the legislation, ordered the FCC to conduct a study as to whether or not low power FM radio stations would interfere with full power broadcasts. That study, conducted by independent contractors at the MITRE corporation, was completed in 2003 and found “no significant interference” issues and recommended Congress return the LPFM service to its original scope[3][4].
NAB awards
The NAB presents several annual awards:- NAB Marconi Radio Awards, to the country's top radio stations and personalities
- NAB National Radio Award, to an outstanding individual leader in the radio industry
- NAB Crystal Radio Awards, to radio stations achieving excellence in community service
