No, the panel participants won’t be Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce (nor even Taylor Swift). Instead, this session will feature the chiefs of the FCC Media Bureau’s Audio Division and Video Division. They are, respectively, Al Shuldiner and Barbara Kreisman.
This session will provide BEA attendees with key information on the direction of the Administration, the FCC and the Congress on broadcast and broadcast-related issues, ranging from broadcast group ownership and cross-ownership to government content regulation and technical advances and challenges for broadcast radio and television in the digital age. It also will provide an update on the contentious and evolving issue of AM radio being available in the cars and trucks being sold to American consumers.
The FCC division chiefs will comment on how the results of the 2024 presidential and congressional elections are having an impact on the Commission and those regulated by it. Following commentary by the expert panel, session attendees will be able to voice their own questions to the panelists.
