A broadcast management session and regulatory update feature Dick Ferguson of Cox Radio, Dick Zaragoza of Shaw Pittman and Roy Stewart of the FCC.
Digital radio gets its due with an AM/FM IBOC update and discussion, including Claudy, Stewart and Radio World columnist Skip Pizzi.
Other sessions deal with radio and TV sales training; the latest on Arbitron’s PPM testing; and TV engineering safety. The CBA convention is Thursday Oct. 17 at the Hartford Marriott in Farmington.
