And we couldn’t be happier to partner with Whit Adamson, President, and the TAB, who have been supportive of the National Radio Talent System almost from the very beginning. Whit is a real pro, is great to work with, and the TAB has shown their support even prior to this partnership by providing scholarships for the Radio Talent Institute in Kentucky.”
