• The Board of Directors of the Broadcasters Foundation of America has elected veteran radio exec Scott Herman as its new Chair. Herman, former longtime CBS Radio and Group W executive is currently CEO of SHH Media Management.

Current Chair Dan Mason will remain on the Board of Directors, and Jordan Wertlieb, President of Hearst Television, is re-elected as Vice Chair. The Board has also voted Steve Jones, President & COO of Skyview Networks, to the Board. The elections were held Wednesday during a video conference meeting of the Board of Directors of the Broadcasters Foundation of America, which is devoted exclusively to providing financial assistance to broadcasters in acute need.

Mason stated, “It has been an honor to serve the broadcasting industry as Chair of the Broadcasters Foundation, and I look forward to continuing my involvement as a Board member of this unique charity that helps our colleagues. I’m pleased to turn over the chair seat to Scott, who I know to be both capable and caring. He loves this industry as much as I do and will work tirelessly to help those in our business who need it most.”

Herman, a longtime member of the Foundation’s Board, has served as Vice Chair since 2017. He notably spent nearly 40 years of his career at CBS Radio and its predecessor companies, Group W and Infinity Broadcasting, before launching SHH Media Management. “I have great admiration for Dan and the charitable work that he and the Board do every day,” said Herman. “Tragedy that upends lives and leaves our colleagues in desperate need deserve our help and support. I’m grateful for this opportunity to give back to our industry. I also want to welcome Steve, who has contributed time and energy to helping raise funds to support our cause.”
