Why do I find it somehow appropriate that the current president of the National Broadcaster's Association was the chief lobbyist for the National Beer Wholesaler's Association before he took over the broadcast job in 2005?
David Rehr will be speaking at next month's Alabama Broadcasters Association meeting at Perdido Beach. Oh well, a lobbyist is a lobbyist is a lobbyist. The ABA news release tells us Rehr...
"...has been featured in numerous major U.S. media outlets, including the Boston Globe, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Washington Post, Washington Times, New York Times, ABC World News Tonight and C-Span," which reminds me of those infomercials for paint-your-bald spot type products.
You can bet the broadcasters at the meeting will be hearing even more than usual about advertising, or the lack thereof. Spending on automobile TV ads, for example, is down 40% in the first quarter.
