| NAB CEO Smith Outlines His Three Top Priorities |
|
Two days ago -- prior to the opening of the NAB Convention in Las Vegas, NAB CEO Senator Gordon Smith attended a small luncheon meeting with a cross section of Nevada's broadcasters. In attendance this past Saturday, April 10, 2010, were general managers (and station owners) representing Las Vegas television and radio; Reno television and radio; and rural radio. There was strong representation from Hispanic television and radio. Senator Smith also brought along his wife and several key NAB staff members. The meeting was held in the board room of the Nevada Broadcasters Association. |

| Senator Reid: No Performance Tax |
|
Yesterday, the NAB held a small, private event with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Tony Bonnici, Bob Fisher and Adam Sandler represented the Nevada Broadcasters Association at this event. In what was an emotional moment, Senator Reid thanked Senator Smith for their work together on the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act, which President George W. Bush signed into law in 2004. $82 million was set aside for suicide prevention and awareness programs in colleges. Senator Smith's son Garrett committed suicide six and a half years ago when he was 21. Senator Reid's father also committed suicide when he was a young man. |

| The Perfect Storm: NAB's New CEO to Meet with Nevada's Broadcasters |
| These days as broadcasters, it sometimes seems hard to separate our issues -- and then know if what we are hearing and watching and reading is fact or fiction. The flow of information never stops and sometimes we don't really know who to believe and what to believe. The NAB which comes to Las Vegas at the end of this week -- at one time seemed almost to be invincible when it came to fighting back anti-broadcaster legislation. Some could argue that recently, the NAB no longer has that same reputation. All of that being said, the NBA Executive Committee returned from State Leadership in Washington, D.C. excited and enthused by the new NAB leadership.
Nevada's broadcasters -- like all of America's broadcasters, seem to be entering into a "Perfect Storm". Broadcasters have every right to be concerned. We are facing live or die issues. Our President, the FCC Chairman, the FCC Commission and Congress all seem to now have an agenda that appears to be dangerously anti-broadcaster. |

| Society of Broadcast Engineers |
|
On Thursday, March 18, 2010, SBE Chapter 128, met in the NBA Board Room. The purpose of the Las Vegas meeting was to reorganize, rebuild and to move the chapter forward. There was much discussion around the table as to what direction the chapter would go in. In the current atmosphere where "less is more" and broadcast engineers have more responsibilities with fewer support staff, the challenge of finding the time required to run an SBE chapter is challenging. There were many excellent thoughts expressed and the outcome produced a successful election of officers. |
