The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) organizes an annual day on the Hill for all states to arrange meetings with members of Congress. Kentucky brings the largest delegation of broadcasters to this event.

Recent trips have dealt with KBA’s position on such things as opposition to the Performance Tax on local radio broadcasters, opposition to reforms to the tax treatment of advertising costs, and support of changes to the Communications Act to protect local viewers.
