Reacting to the FCC’s release of its localism inquiry (see above), NAB spokesman Dennis Wharton stated: “NAB looks forward to participating in the FCC’s inquiry into broadcast localism, and we strongly believe that objective observers will conclude that America’s local over-the-air stations have an unmatched record of community service.
“From telethons to tornado warnings, from Amber Alerts to school closing announcements, radio and television stations provide leading-edge local programming that has made the U.S. system of broadcasting the envy of the world.”
