NABLF Leadership Training Underway
• The NAB Leadership Foundation (NABLF) kicked off the 2024 Broadcast Leadership Training (BLT) program last week at NAB Headquarters in Washington, DC. Designed for broadcasters interested in ownership or corporate leadership, the executive MBA-style program teaches participants the fundamentals of purchasing, owning and operating radio and television stations over the course of ten in-person weekend sessions, including a session held at NAB Show in Las Vegas. Since BLT’s inception, nearly 400 broadcasters have graduated from NABLF’s flagship program, and over 70% have been promoted one or more times since graduating. In addition, 60 graduates have owned or currently own broadcast stations, and eight BLT graduates currently serve on the NAB Board of Directors.
“I look forward to the sessions, discussions, events and guest speakers that will help the 2024 BLT class take the next steps in their careers and grow the broadcast industry,” said NABLF President Michelle Duke. “The BLT program has created countless opportunities for graduates and this year’s impressive group of participants will continue that legacy of innovation, entrepreneurship and leadership.”
This year’s program sponsors include Bonneville International, Beasley Broadcast Group, Cox Media Group, Fox TV Stations, Futuri, Graham Media Group, Gray Television, Hearst Television, Legend Communications, Morgan Murphy Media, National Association of Broadcasters, Nielsen Foundation, Paramount, Scripps, TEGNA and Televisa Univision. The full list of the 2024 BLT participants can be found here.
