Secretary General's Message

Welcome to the NABA website. We hope you will find it a source of useful information and will visit often.

The NABA membership is unique among the world’s broadcast unions as it includes a large representation of Canadian, Mexican and United States national television and radio broadcasters and major suppliers of products and services to the broadcast industry. The success of NABA in representing the interests of the North American broadcast industry in international forums is dependent upon the involvement of our membership in various NABA activities. Our great strength is in the breadth of our membership. From it, we call upon a great expanse of knowledge, expertise and business interests in our deliberations.

The entire communications industry is undergoing enormous change. NABA is an indispensable forum for our members in helping to chart a course that permits our industry to take advantage of the changes in technology and regulations that enhance services to viewers and listeners while not losing sight of core broadcasting activities. The heart of NABA activity lies in the work of its committees. They address an ever-changing variety of issues in support of our members’ interests. A few examples of recent work by NABA committees include:

  • Technical Committee - proper interference criteria for new RF devices and work on HD implementation issues


  • Radio Subcommittee - RF and digital audio level issues


  • Safety and Security Committee - disaster recovery from both a facilities and staff safety standpoint.


  • News Operations Committee - safety of journalists and satellite services


  • Integrated Media Committee - metadata and internet broadcasting


  • Legal Committee - content protection and intellectual property issues

All NABA members, no matter what level of membership, are encouraged to be full participants in any committee activity of interest. The members section of this website contains the current agendas and documents pertaining to committee activities.

As Secretary General of NABA, I am pleased to work with the NABA Board of Directors in guiding this organization as it faces an era of unprecedented change and opportunity in the broadcasting industry.

Sincerely,


Dave Baylor
Secretary General, NABA
