My thanks to MBA board member Mike Edwards with Benne Media for inviting me to speak about local broadcasting and community service at today's Lebanon Rotary Club meeting. It was nice to see MBA member Beth Durreman with Carter Media in attendance.

Great to be with colleagues from our peer state broadcasters associations to collaborate for the greater good of the industry. We're in Lexington, Kentucky, this week reviewing issues impacting broadcasters and discussing strategies to address them. Thank you to the Kentucky Broadcasters Association for hosting and to the MBA's own Mike Nepple with Thompson Coburn LLP for presenting on First Amendment issues.
