Tim McCarthy, President of the Broadcasters Foundation added, “Dan is the perfect candidate to receive the prestigious Edward F. McLaughlin Lifetime Achievement Award. His commitment to the advancing the broadcast business, especially into the digital space, is well-known, as is his dedication to the mission of the Broadcasters Foundation.”
“I am honored to receive this distinction from the Broadcasters Foundation,” said Mason. “Broadcasting gave me a career that I love on the air and in the boardroom. There are many broadcasters across our country who feel the same way, but tragedy struck their lives, leaving them in need of help. That’s why I served on the Board of the Broadcasters Foundation and continue to support its charitable mission.” For more information about the Golden Mic Gala and Fundraiser, visit broadcastersfoundation.org.
