KATZ MEDIA GROUP’S BRIAN KNOX
TO SPEAK AT NABOB’S FALL BROADCAST CONFERENCE
New York, NY- September 22, 2009 – Katz Media Group’s Brian Knox, Senior Vice President and Director of Corporate Diversity, will be a featured speaker at the 33rd Annual Fall Broadcast Conference, hosted by The National Association for Black Owned Broadcasters (NABOB). The two-day event will begin on Thursday, September 24, at the Loews Hotel in Washington D.C.
The Fall Broadcast Conference provides two days of panels and presentations focused on developing ideas to improve the financial success and service to the community of broadcast stations owned by African-Americans and other minorities. NABOB is the first and largest trade organization to represent the interests of African-American owners of radio and television stations across the country. Since 1976, NABOB has continued to fulfill its original mission by establishing a voice and viable presence in the media industry and by addressing specific concerns of African-American broadcasters.
“The conference provides an opportunity for existing station owners to connect with professionals in our industry and be educated on new issues within our business,” said Knox. “I am honored to be a part of this incredible platform once again.”
Knox is a media sales veteran with more than 20 years of experience in the national radio sales industry. He joined Katz to work on marketing initiatives to African-American consumers. He currently focuses on company diversity efforts that include minority recruitment and career development. In addition to his involvement with NABOB, he actively participates with The Emma Bowen Foundation, which prepares minority youth for careers in the media industry. Knox was recently named to Radio Ink’s annual list of the 35 Most Influential African-Americans in Radio for the fourth time.
