Greetings from your broadcast friends out on the Desert…
This is BDR Newsletter 814, Volume 16, #34 for March 26, 2025

GOING TO NAB?
We are down to two weeks to NAB … and everyone is trying to finalize their plans. If you need a free floor pass, scroll down to the Manufacturer’s News section. You can also start your walking list with some of the booths listed there.

WE WILL HAVE A REAL LIVE GATHERING
For the past four years, most of our ability to gather and share information, etc, has been online. We sure hope you will take notice of our Thursday presentations. But, there has been a request that we try to get together during NAB. It has not been easy, the Las Vegas Convention Center has bladed most anything close. And what is open is not really easy to access at mid-day. Accordingly, this year, we are planning to meet for a pizza party. The plan is for Monday evening right after the exhibit floor closes. Interested? RSVP, please respond to: rsvp@theBDR.net

LET’S TALK AI
If you have read anything in the past months, it is clear AI will be a major topic and issue during the upcoming NAB Show – it may be impossible to walk down any isle without encountering one or more implementation of AI. So, what is available and what do you need to know, to ask the right questions. Sam Bogoch of Axel.ai will be joining us this week for a discussion of where AI stands, some important things to know, and some areas where broadcasters need to exercise caution.

Yes, we are meeting at 2 PM Eastern on Thursday / 11 AM Pacific.  Please join us and learn things. The link request for the presentation can be found at www.theBDR.net/TLG/
