Four Broadcasters To Be Inducted Into WBA Hall Of Fame
|
|
Four leaders of the Wisconsin broadcasting
community will be inducted into the Wisconsin Broadcasters Hall
of Fame on Thursday, June 19, 2008. The induction ceremony will
be held at Stone Harbor Resort in Sturgeon Bay following the
annual Hall of Fame Banquet, the closing evening of the 2008 WBA
Summer Conference.
The four 2008 inductees were formally nominated by the WBA Hall
of Fame Committee earlier this year. They include:
Terry Havel,
Willie Davis,
Jonathan Little,
and Mike McCormick. |

Legislative Session Update
|
|
 |
| Bob Welch |
As regular session ended in mid- March,
there was a flurry of legislative activity. Fortunately,
none of it had any negative impact on the WBA! With the
Video Franchise Bill safely signed into law, broadcasters
could sleep well knowing that any new entrant into the
digital cable market (read – AT&T) would have to ensure
non-degradation of service and would be subject to the
strongest must carry/retransmission consent language in the
nation.

WBA's Doug Chickering WIAA Sports Workshop
|
|
This year's WBA Doug Chickering WIAA Sports Workshop will take
place at the WIAA headquarters in Stevens Point on Thursday,
July 17, and will be combined with the WIAA/WIAC Media Day for
our morning sessions. Then, it's off to Sentry World Golf Course
for a buffet lunch and golf! |

Chairman's Column
|
|
 |
| Doug Kiel |
|
One of the great
accomplishments of the Wisconsin Broadcaster’s Association is
the fact that we have two very successful conventions. Many
other associations only have one a year and even then have
somewhat mixed success.
In my view, one of the reasons our association in Wisconsin has
been such a stand-out is the outstanding participation of our
members in the activities sponsored by the WBA. Of course that
starts with compelling and meaningful events!

April was a busy month for your WBA, with our
Awards Gala, News Reporters Workshop, and our annual Spring
Sales Workshop. I would like to extend a special thank you to
your WBA Staff and to your WBA Awards Committee. The committee
has spent the past two and a half years putting together an
all-new awards program, which culminated in a most memorable
Awards Gala on April 5. As a whole, we received extremely
favorable comments. The Awards Committee met shortly after the
event and has prepared a presentation for the WBA Board next
month to review the program. With award entries hitting an
all-time high of 848 (versus our prior record of 586) and close
to 300 people in attendance at the Gala; while there might be
some fine tuning here and there, I think most everyone in
attendance would agree that it was a definite success!
