WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In response to the FCC's approval today of an Order modernizing contest rules for local radio and TV stations, the following statement can be attributed to NAB Executive Vice President of Communications Dennis Wharton:
"NAB applauds the FCC for updating its contest rules to better reflect today’s media environment. Providing flexibility about where and how contest rules can be posted online allows broadcasters to best serve our audiences based on the wide variety of contests we run. NAB looks forward to working collaboratively with the FCC to help radio and TV stations adhere to these revised rules."
