News Summary:

Registration opened on July 9, 2026, for NAB Show New York 2026, focusing on artificial intelligence and streaming as the East Coast marketplace for media innovation, directly influencing how streaming platforms, radio stations, and publishing firms adapt to the creator economy. Previously, on July 7, the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) released new Broadcast Station Self-Inspection Guides for AM, FM, and television stations, developed in conjunction with the Society of Broadcast Engineers (SBE), offering practical guidance for compliance with FCC rules and policies. Concurrently, an editor's note published on July 7 highlighted ongoing disagreements regarding the adequacy of C-Band replacements, following a June 30 FCC announcement of a planned auction for 160 MHz of midband spectrum, as broadcasters anticipate ground rules for the congressionally mandated upper C-band auction in July 2027. Earlier, on June 29, NAB appointed Carrie Healey as Vice President of Communications, with Healey reporting to Michelle Lehman, chief of staff and executive vice-president of Public Affairs. This followed NAB's urging of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on June 25 to assess ATSC 3.0's emergency alerting capabilities based on their merits, citing progress from the NextGen TV News Technology Lab and WJLA-TV's Advanced Emergency Information initiative.

Disagreements Abound Over the Adequacy of C-Band Replacements

Editor's note: This article was written prior to the FCC's formal announcement on June 30 of the planned auction of 160 MHz of midband spectrum.
