The Broadcasters Foundation of America (BFOA), the charitable organization dedicated to providing financial assistance to broadcasters in acute need, has elected the executive producer of Live with Kelly & Mark and the former Sr. VP/Head of Digital Audio Content at Audacy to its board of directors.
Taking the seats on the BFOA board are Michael Gelman and Tim Clarke, respectively.
Gelman is a veteran producer who first gained national recognition while working with Regis Philbin and Kathy Lee Gifford on the syndicated daytime program that today is helmed by Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos.
Clarke is widely recognized for his leadership in digital audio, content strategy, and innovation, and playing a pivotal role in the evolution of broadcast and streaming media. As the BFOA notes, “Their appointments further strengthen the foundation’s board as it continues to expand its outreach, fundraising efforts, and support services for radio and television professionals facing critical financial hardship from illness or disaster.”
BFOA Chair Scott Herman commented, “We are honored to welcome Michael and Tim to the Broadcasters Foundation Board of Directors. Both are highly accomplished leaders whose careers reflect excellence, innovation, and a deep commitment to our industry. Their insights, relationships, and strategic vision will be invaluable as we continue to grow awareness of the Foundation’s mission and ensure that broadcasters across the country know that help is available when they need it most.”
The BFOA provides a vital safety net for men and women in broadcasting who find themselves in acute financial need due to critical illness or disaster. Through monthly grants and emergency assistance, the BFOA delivers financial aid to colleagues who have dedicated their careers to serving their communities through broadcasting.
