Hi all,
One thing to consider is that the war is (obviously) a huge news item that is all-consuming for everyone working for or with local or national television news.
The news directors and producers at all of the stations are unlikely to attend NAB because of the coincident timing of this. Same with nearly everyone else at any news operation...they are not able to get away for the convention. The likelihood that these decision-makers from the affiliates won't be attending is a major disappoint to me (and many others). :-(
Let me know when/if people are planning to get together. I'll do my best to make it.
Later,
Tim in Hollywood
