Panels Will Discuss Security, IBOC

Radio World Editor Paul McLane will moderate two panels at the upcoming NAB2002 convention.
A hot topic will be IBOC digital. The “Going Digital” session on Tuesday morning of the show lets managers hear from Ibiquity Digital Corp. President Robert Struble about the transition.
Got a question about costs, fees, how to take advantage of IBOC? This is the place. Also on the panel is Charlie Morgan, senior VP for Susquehanna Radio and chairman of both the National Radio Systems Committee and the NAB’s Digital Broadcasting Committee; and Bill Suffa, senior VP/Capital Management for Clear Channel Worldwide.
“Station Security: Precautions, Practices, and Procedures” takes place on Tuesday afternoon and will explore how broadcasters have adapted their policies in the wake of Sept. 11 and the anthrax scares. Do you issue ID badges to your employees? Do you do background checks? Are there security cameras at your RF plant?
Panelists include Al Kenyon, senior VP of projects and technology for Clear Channel Communications; Kevin Cassidy, corporate director of security for Reuters America; and Leon Long of COSMOS/WLOX-TV in Biloxi, Miss. The co-moderator is TV Technology Editor Tom Butts.
