RTNDA@NAB

The RTNDA@NAB is next week - the annual convention where radio and television news professionals gather to learn, share stories, commiserate and encourage one another.

While I'm hoping that attendance is high - it would seem from various conversations that I have had around the country that it may not be the case. Another sad commentary on the state of local broadcast news. The RTNDA took a hit in 2001 and now is taking another as budgets in newsrooms continue to be squeezed. It's truly a shame.

Keitha Corbit and I will be there waving the NewsProNet Video flag - we are also co-hosting a party with our good friends at APEX Media and Insite Research on Monday night. Contact me if you are attending the show and would like an invitation. We hope to see you there.
