What does it mean to have the soul of a broadcaster?

Many people already know about the amazing service that broadcasters provide to their communities – the way they deliver the local news, emergency updates, sports and entertainment.

But what TV viewers and radio listeners may not fully grasp is broadcasters’ dedication and determination to serve their communities every single day.

Deep in the souls of broadcasters is an unrelenting commitment to always be there for their communities – to inform, educate and help their fellow man.

It’s a fundamental part of who broadcasters are. And this deep-rooted commitment manifests itself in many ways.

Broadcasters respond to emergencies to keep communities safe and help them stay calm.

They get involved and raise awareness of the issues that impact their neighbors.

They investigate stories to uncover government corruption and scams that hurt consumers.

And, as we tragically witnessed this year, broadcasters place their own lives in peril in carrying out their duties.

In August, we mourned the deaths of WDBJ-TV journalists Alison Parker and Adam Ward, who were killed while on the air.

In October, we were saddened by the news of the passing of engineer Ernie Jones, an industry icon who died while working on a broadcast tower in Oklahoma City.

And there are countless other brave men and women across the country – and around the globe – who risk their lives every day as broadcasters, covering wars, disasters and other emergencies…or simply just trying to do their jobs.

It’s important to remember the many invaluable ways broadcasters are there for listeners and viewers every day. We can’t take for granted their incredible service.

We dedicate this year’s annual report to the men and women who inspire us with their passion and courage as broadcasters. It’s an honor and privilege to represent them in our nation’s capital.

ADVOCACY

Always Ensuring Broadcasters’ Ability to Serve Local CommunitiesLocal radio and television stations are an integral part of American lives. They keep communities safe, informed and entertained, and support the foundation of our country’s democratic ideals – the freedom of speech and of the press. NAB fights for legislative and regulatory policies that support broadcasters’ commitment to serving their local communities.

FEDERAL COPYRIGHT REVIEW: The House Judiciary Committee

continued its comprehensive review of U.S. copyright laws in 2015.

One focus is the music licensing laws, including those governing

radio broadcasts. Multiple bills have been introduced that would

significantly alter the royalty structure when music is played on any

number of platforms. NAB has continuously emphasized the benefit

that local radio stations provide artists and listeners and the

importance of the current legal structure that enables our uniquely

free and local service. NAB also continues to emphasize the

impediments that are stifling broadcast innovation through streaming.

As record labels continue to advocate for a tax on local radio,

NAB will continue to promote the important role of radio stations

in discovering and launching new artists and making the American

system of music creation one of the most prolific in the world.

PERFORMANCE TAX: While the big record labels continued to

aggressively lobby for a performance tax on local radio stations

simply for airing and promoting artists’ music, broadcasters worked

with congressional leaders to grow the number of bipartisan

cosponsors of the Local Radio Freedom Act, a resolution that

opposes a performance tax and recognizes the critical role

local radio plays in every community. At the end of the year,

225 members of the House supported the resolution – a

majority large enough to block performance tax legislation.

In addition, 23 senators supported the resolution. Particularly in the

House, this helped to ensure performance tax legislation would

not gain traction. NAB will continue to educate lawmakers on the

beneficial partnership between local stations and artists that has

thrived for decades.

COPYRIGHT ROYALTY BOARD LITIGATION: The Copyright

Royalty Board (CRB) resets the rate for streaming music every

five years. NAB actively participated in this proceeding, supplying

extensive economic and legal analyses and witness testimony to

encourage the CRB to set reasonable new rates that reflect a

competitive market. NAB encouraged the CRB to set the rate at a

level that encourages broadcasters to stream, which would be a win

for everyone who loves, makes or plays music. In its December 16

decision, the CRB recognized that the royalty rates applicable to

the streaming services of radio broadcasters were too high and

reduced them by 32 percent. NAB is pleased that streaming rates

are moving in the right direction and will remain committed to

ensuring simulcasting is viable for local stations across the country.

76

“We are fighting for local TV and radio stations’ ability to deliver lifesaving information, news and entertainment free to all audiences.

We will never lose sight of our mission to uphold the foundations of our democracy – the freedom of speech and of the press.”

— Gordon H. Smith, President and CEO, NAB

98

SPECTRUM INCENTIVE AUCTION: NAB continued to work with Congress and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to promote a successful broadcast spectrum incentive auction. While ensuring the auction is attractive for those stations that wish to participate, NAB also wants to ensure that broadcasters choosing not to participate are held harmless and not required to absorb repacking costs or forced off the air. Television stations forced to move to new channels following the auction should be reimbursed for the full costs of transitioning as Congress intended. No station should be forced off the air if it is unable to move to its new channel for reasons outside the station’s control. NAB’s advocacy will continue to focus on ensuring that the auction is conducted as Congress intended and that, following the auction, stations will be able to innovate and thrive well into the future.

PROGRAM EXCLUSIVITY AND RETRANSMISSION CONSENT: In 2015, NAB worked at the FCC and on Capitol Hill to ensure local stations are able to serve their viewers with critical local news, community information and the most-watched programming. Unfortunately, the FCC proposed in 2014 to eliminate rules allowing for efficient enforcement of broadcasters’ contractual network non-duplication and syndicated exclusivity rights, which threatened broadcasters’ ability to provide the news, weather and emergency information viewers rely upon. NAB vigorously opposed the FCC’s proposal and received support on the issue from Senate Commerce and Judiciary leadership. As a result, the FCC has not yet adopted it.

The Commission is also currently reexamining its rules obligating broadcasters and pay-TV providers to negotiate retransmission consent agreements in good faith. The retransmission consent process allows broadcasters to negotiate for compensation for cable and satellite operators’ retransmission of stations’ signals. Fair compensation is critical to local TV stations’ ability to provide local news, community and emergency information, as well as

top-quality entertainment and sports. The pay-TV industry continues

to urge the FCC to increase cable and satellite operators’ negotiating

leverage at the expense of broadcasters. NAB is strongly fighting

this continuing assault on private, market-based retransmission

consent negotiations, as the current process benefits TV viewers,

enabling stations to provide them with more programming choices

and services.

ADVERTISING DEDUCTIBILITY: NAB remained vigilant in opposing

harmful changes to the tax treatment of advertising that would

make it more costly for businesses to reach their customers

through local radio and television ads. Local stations derive the

vast majority of their revenues directly from advertising and use

that revenue to support local jobs and programming. Denying

businesses the ability to deduct advertising costs as an ordinary

and necessary business expenses would make advertising more

costly and could have a detrimental impact on broadcasters. It

appears increasingly unlikely that the 114th Congress will address

this issue.

REFORMING OWNERSHIP RULES: The media marketplace has

changed dramatically since the FCC and Congress last addressed

the restrictions that apply only to over-the-air broadcast station

ownership. NAB is working to remove outdated restrictions and

allow stations to compete more effectively in today’s marketplace.

On Capitol Hill, NAB successfully advocated for legislation to

reverse a 2014 FCC decision that made most television joint

sales agreements (JSAs) count toward the FCC’s current strict

ownership limits and therefore violate media ownership rules.

As a result, legislation passed in December grandfathers joint

sales agreements in existence at the time of the FCC’s rule

change through September 30, 2025. NAB also challenged in

federal court the FCC’s failure to conclude its statutorily required

2010 “quadrennial” review of all broadcast ownership rules, as

well as its decision to attribute joint sales agreements.

98

AM RADIO REVITALIZATION: Last fall, the FCC approved a

number of technical and other measures to help revitalize

AM radio service. Working with stations, NAB mounted an

industry-wide effort and engaged congressional support to ensure

that the FCC provided multiple opportunities for AM stations

to obtain FM translators, which helps them broadcast their

programming to a larger audience. This was great news for

millions of AM radio listeners across the country who value the

diverse programming, news, emergency updates and sports that

AM radio provides to local communities. Going forward, NAB

will advocate for additional flexibility in the placement of FM

translators and relaxation of other FCC rules that may constrain

AM radio service.

NAB POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEEThe NAB Political Action Committee (NABPAC) assists in the

broadcast industry’s advocacy efforts. NABPAC aggregates

broadcaster resources to support pro-broadcast candidates and

policymakers who recognize the importance of local radio and

TV stations in every community. In 2015, NABPAC’s Power of 10

campaign resulted in an increase of 10 percent and a new record-high

annual fundraising total of $1.15 million as of December 16, 2015.

Through NABPAC, broadcasters are engaging in the political

process to help shape the future of the industry.

NAB is educating legislators that retransmission consent revenue enables local stations to reinvest in the valuable services they provide to their communities, such as their newsrooms and delivering emergency information.

State Leadership ConferenceThe NAB State Leadership Conference is the premier advocacy

event for broadcasters, allowing them to meet with federal

policymakers to discuss issues that affect television and radio.

The conference includes a thorough update on policy issues before

Congress and the FCC, as well as an opportunity to network with

fellow broadcasters from across the country. In 2015, attendees heard

from prominent policymakers, including Sen. Charles Schumer (NY)

and FCC Commissioner Michael O’Rielly. During his remarks,

Sen. Schumer noted that as cable news and other media are

becoming more polarized and partisan, local news has become

even more valuable for communities to find the truth and get

the facts.

Small Market Television Exchange, Group Roundtable and Digital Think TankThe Small Market Television Exchange is the only national gathering

for small market group executives and station television managers

in DMAs 76 and above. The event focuses on innovative ways

to attract emerging and non-traditional advertisers, suggestions

to enhance a station’s position in the local marketplace and tips

for turning good ideas into revenue-generating plans. An integral

part of the event is the Small Market Money Makers competition.

Twenty-five finalists are asked to showcase their best sales promotions.

In 2015, the grand prize was awarded to WWTV/WFQX, from

Traverse City, Mich., for “BrewVine Passport.” The Group Executive

Roundtable, a key facet of the event, is an invitation-only meeting

for broadcast owners and executives who are responsible for

overseeing operations and the financial success of their groups.

Activities concluded with a meeting for corporate and station digital

managers who are pioneering new paths for their organizations’

digital sales and content efforts.

NAB FuturesNAB Futures is an exclusive three-day conference for NAB-member

senior-level radio and television broadcast executives responsible

for positioning their companies and stations for success. The event

brings together top thought-leaders, entrepreneurs and financial

experts to discuss new ideas and opportunities that are shaping

the future of broadcasting. In 2015, attendees heard from Jonathan

Perelman, head of Digital Initiatives, ICM Partners, on how to create

shareable social content and insights into maximizing reach and

impact. Topics explored included cybersecurity, virtual reality, IP

distribution, cross platform analytics, cool startup companies and

the financial outlook for the broadcasting industry.

and tools to senior TV sales executives with at least three to five

years of selling experience. Produced in partnership with TVB,

the webcasts deliver best practices and success stories from sales

and marketing experts and television advertisers that stations can

immediately implement at their stations. Topics covered in 2015

included automotive, legal, furniture and programmatic ad

buying. The 2016 schedule will include an additional automotive

session and other relevant topics, including home improvement,

healthcare and financing.

Fly-In for Radio Group ExecutivesThe Fly-In for Radio Group Executives is an invitation-only event

for top-level NAB member radio executives whose companies

own or operate at least one station in at least three markets

in the United States. In 2015, highlights included NAB Radio

Board Chair José Valle’s candid one-on-one interview with

FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai and appearances by Pam Coulter

and Steven Portnoy of CBS Radio News.

NAB Webcasts and PodcastsNAB Webcasts are exclusive, members-only educational webcasts

that debut on the third Wednesday of every month and provide

broadcasters with professional development and valuable knowledge

NAB EDUCATION FOUNDATION

Always Supporting Broadcast Careers

The National Association of Broadcasters Education Foundation (NABEF) is a nonprofit organization that supports those seeking to grow their careers in broadcast radio and television. Whether in sales, technology or executive management, NABEF provides valuable professional development resources and training to develop the next-generation of broadcast leaders.

For more than 20 years, the foundation has offered programs and developed initiatives that reinforce the future of broadcasting through a commitment to education and to advancing excellence in the diversity and community service efforts of the broadcasting

industry. Its offerings include:

BROADCAST LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAM The Broadcast Leadership Training program was created to enable talented senior-level broadcast executives who aspire to advance as group executives or station owners and to improve the diversity profile of broadcast media ownership. The 10-month executive MBA-style program prepares participants to purchase radio and television properties, or move into more senior-level executive positions in broadcasting. In 2015, 17 executives graduated, bringing the total number of broadcast professionals who have completed the program to 255. Graduates include general managers, general

sales managers, owners and other department heads.

EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT SEMINAR This four-day seminar is geared toward broadcast managers looking to increase managerial effectiveness. The program helps attendees obtain the skills needed to strategically assess the broadcast business environment, negotiate and communicate effectively

and manage human capital.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM Targeting non-managers who are the rising stars of the broadcast industry, the Leadership Development Program provides participants with the leadership tools needed to take on new levels of responsibility, focus on career advancement and demonstrate effective leadership.

MEDIA SALES INSTITUTES The Media Sales Institute is a 10-day intensive sales training boot camp targeting recent graduates. Students learn the basics of media sales, including the sales cycle, prospecting, media research and networking, creating effective presentations and closing sales. Many graduates are hired into media sales positions after completing the program. The four partner schools are Arizona State University, Florida A&M University, Howard University and Ohio University. Graduates from any university are welcome to attend.

TECHNOLOGY APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM This six-month program is designed to expose high-tech graduates and professionals to the broadcast industry. Participants attend NAB Show, complete two-month internships at broadcast stations, visit an industry manufacturer, and present a webcast to the industry at the end of the program. Participants typically begin broadcast industry careers after completing the program. In 2015, the webcast focused on The Future of Cloud-Based Broadcasting.

“The Broadcast Leadership Training program is a game changer. As a second generation broadcaster, I walked out of the program knowing more than I ever thought was possible about how this industry works,

how to personally excel, nurturing my teammates around me and making the most of opportunities in this ever-changing landscape.”

— Ryanne Duffie Saucier, Corporate Counsel Cumulus Media Inc., Westwood One, Inc. and DM Luxury, LLC
