The Arizona Broadcasting Future and Awards Lunch will preview the new technology and consumer broadcasting trends coming to life in 2020, review the state of our industry, talk-out signs of growth and ABA focus areas to help protect business, and award a select few worthy Arizona broadcasters, including the ABA Hall of Fame inductions.

Speakers include:

Sam Matheny, Chief Technology Officer for the National Association of Broadcasters

• Sam is covering the tech changes coming to consumers and broadcasters, specifically in-dash car experiences, NextGen TV, smart speakers, and what successful broadcasters are doing to adjust. He’s also working to bring in some live demonstrations.

Mike Noble, Chief Pollster and Managing Partner at OH Predictive Insights

• Mike is sharing a 2020 political preview with the newest data that shows where in Arizona the races are expected to be closest, how much money is really expected to come in, and why broadcasters big and small will have a chance to go after more than their fair share on multiple races.

Lin Sue Cooney, Former ABA Hall of Fame recipient, current Hospice of the Valley Director of Community Engagement

• Lin Sue is introducing and awarding our three 2019 Newcomers of the Year, honorees who have worked in broadcasting for 4 years or less, but have already made notable contributions to our Arizona industry, helping to build the future our business.

Pat McMahon, Former ABA Hall of Fame recipient, current host at AZ-TV and with Star World Wide Networks

• Pat is introducing and awarding our three 2019 Hall of Fame honorees, individuals who have spent at least a decade in Arizona broadcasting (but likely more) and have created a lasting impact in Arizona that is so deep it simply can’t be undone.
