The mission of NBA is...

To be the eyes, ears and voice of our state. To protect, promote, enhance, and strengthen the broadcast industry -- so that we can more effectively serve the public. The Nevada Broadcasters Association was established in 1961.

What NBA Does...

We serve as an important information resource for Nevada's radio and television broadcast stations, addressing questions and concerns. We also respond to questions and concerns from the public, providing a better understanding of the role that broadcasters play in their community

We seek to educate Nevada's local, state and federal officials together with other community leaders about the important broadcasting issues, concerns and challenges that we face.

Working with the National Association of Broadcasters, and the National Alliance of State Broadcasters Associations, we participate in filings before the FCC; and we meet with federal officials and decision-makers in matters of concern to Nevada's broadcast industry.

We sponsor a communications counsel hotline for stations with Richard R. Zaragoza, Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, L.L.P. We sponsor a Carson City hotline for stations with Josh Griffin, Griffin Communications Group.

We sponsor an engineering hotline for stations with Adrienne Abbott, Engineering Consultant.

We sponsor a FCC Alternative Broadcast Inspection Program for stations. As Nevada's Voice for Homeland Security, we are at the forefront in the ongoing strengthening of the Nevada Emergency Alert System and in the development of in-station emergency management planning.

As Nevada's Voice for AMBER Alert, we are at the forefront in the partnership with law enforcement and the Nevada AMBER Alert Review Commission.

We provide an effective NCSA (Non-Commercial Sustaining Announcement) program.

We encourage men and women of all races and ethnicities to pursue careers in radio and television. We work with Nevada broadcast stations to achieve a diverse workforce. To that end, we sponsor an online career center.
