Arden Legally Joins The NAB

• The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) has named Ben Arden as Senior Vice President and Deputy General Counsel. He will report to Rick Kaplan, Chief Legal Officer and EVP of Legal and Regulatory Affairs.

Arden joins NAB after 15 years with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), where he served in multiple leadership roles, most recently as special counsel in the Media Bureau. He earlier served as Chief of Staff and legal advisor to then-FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr.

In his new role, Arden will help lead NAB’s policy and legal advocacy before the FCC, advancing broadcasters’ priorities on issues including media ownership, competition policy and the evolving media marketplace.

“Ben brings an exceptional depth of experience in communications law and policy, along with a proven ability to navigate complex regulatory challenges,” said NAB Pres./CEO Curtis LeGeyt. “His leadership and expertise will be invaluable as we continue advocating for policies that ensure local television and radio stations can compete and thrive.”
