UPCOMING WEBINAR:
ENOUGH!!! "FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION"
|
|
WEDNESDAY, MAY 20TH @ 2:30PM EDT
|
|
Fifty years ago, the crew of NASA’s Apollo 13 was charged with reigniting a crippled command module after spending four days exposed to the stress of deep space. They called it the “cold soak”. They were given less than 20% chance of survival, yet Lead Flight Director, Gene Kranz promised that “failure was not an option”.
You and your customers have been exposed to the business equivalent of the cold soak and now it’s time to reignite your business. And once again... “failure is not an option”.
In this final installment of the
Enough!
Webinar Series
, Derron Steenbergen from Swagger Institute and P1 Learning’s Speed Marriott will host a 45-minute webinar to broadcast managers and sellers designed to get us properly prepared for our return to the workplace.
After the presentation both Derron and Speed will open the lines for Q&A.

NEW COVID-19 PSA'S AVAILABLE
|
|
NAB has produced new public service announcements (PSAs) for stations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The PSAs focus on a message of hope and encouragement for Americans. They direct listeners and viewers to
WeAreBroadcasters.com/Hope
.
|
|
The PSAs are available in :30 and :15, English and Spanish, and the TV spots are closed captioned. Please note: if you customize the PSA, it may strip the closed captioning. Please be sure your PSAs are closed captioned before airing.
To date, stations have donated an immense amount of airtime to NAB's COVID-19 PSAs. Since March 12, stations have aired the PSAs over 411,000 times for an estimated ad value of more than $90 million. This does not include station-produced PSAs and spots from other organizations, which we know broadcasters are also running.
Thank you for your outstanding service during this difficult time for our country.
