NAB has filed its initial brief in its challenge to the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) local radio and television ownership restrictions.
NAB President and CEO Curtis LeGeyt: "It is long past time for the FCC to modernize its broadcast ownership rules; these are relics from a bygone era, created before the internet, smartphones, social media and streaming."

NAB President and CEO Curtis LeGeyt has been named to Radio Ink’s "40 Most Powerful People in Radio" for the third year in a row.
📖 “LeGeyt’s last year has been nothing short of impressive: uniting both broadcasters and a bitterly divided Capitol Hill, all while fending off an increasingly regulatory FCC and outside forces that would wish to see the end of trustworthy information for American consumers,” wrote Radio Ink.
