What Does a New Administration Mean for Public Radio?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Join us in New Orleans for a discussion with industry leaders about the impact a new administration could have on Public Broadcasting. The sessions are designed to feature less presentation and more conversation than possible at larger conferences. Come prepared to ask questions and exchange ideas with your colleagues. During this year\u2019s meeting, We\u2019ll get updates and discuss CPB\u2019s funding status, the NPR\/Station Compact, Underwriting Opportunities, the New FCC, New Trends in Content, Platforms and Business Models, the Station Interconnect System, and more!<\/p>\n
