The National Association of Broadcasters holds their annual convention in Las Vegas next week.
Billed as the world’s largest electronic media event, the annual convention will run from Monday, April 14 through Thursday, April 17. Dozens of Keynotes, hundreds of sessions and more than 1600 exhibitors from 40 countries will vie for the attention of more than 110,000 expected attendees.
The upcoming transition to digital television will be a big part of it as well as opportunities in mobile television.
“The Buck Stops Here! DTV Transition Best Practices,” a joint session by the NAB and the Association for Maximum Service Television (MSTV), will address critical issues facing broadcast stations, including consumer education, tower work, equipment purchases, FCC approvals and coordination with cable and satellite companies.
The session, scheduled for Monday, April 14, is a town hall-style forum that will be moderated by former FCC Chairman Richard Wiley and MSTV President David Donovan.
Additional DTV sessions include:
- Coming in 2009: Mobile DTV from the Broadcast Television Industry
- DTV Broadcasting for Mobile and Handheld
- DTV Transition: Partnership Opportunities for Cable Operators and Broadcasters
- How Tomorrow’s TV Might Look Like… Differences and Progress
- Show Me the Money… Business Models and ROI
- The Future of Digital Media in Television, Film, Newspapers, Magazines and Advertising

Terrestrial broadcasting could follow newspapers to oblivion unless they come up with a magic bullet. Mobile Televison may not be it. Once a political force, broadcasters use our airwaves for free.
Why? “Public service”.
Oh, please, give us a break. Can we get our frequencies back now?
