Broadcasters’ successes in 2013:

• Emphasized the importance of bipartisan congressional support of the Local Radio Freedom Act, which recognizes radio’s vital role in every community and opposes a performance fee on local stations.

• Continued to engage with the FCC to ensure that as it creates the rules to conduct the spectrum incentive auction, it implements the law as Congress intended and protects broadcasters who choose to remain on the air.

• Educated policymakers that the revenue stream provided by retransmission consent negotiations enables local stations to serve their communities, and Congress should not intervene in private marketplace negotiations.

FAQ

How do I learn more about NABPAC?

• Contact our staff at (202)-429-5314

• Have a current signed prior authorization on record

What is “Prior Authorization” and why do I/my company need to sign a form?

• The Federal Election Commission (FEC) requires our political

action committee to obtain written approval from members

before it may solicit and accept contributions from employees

of the member company.

• Granting prior approval does not obligate the company or its

employees to support the PAC – it simply gives us permission

to communicate in much greater detail about the PAC.

Can anyone from the company sign the Prior Approval form?

Prior approval may be granted by anyone so authorized by the

company. This includes the company’s chief executive or the

owner/principal, but may also include those designated to

represent the company.
