Hitachi Kokusai says its second-generation 4K Ultra HD broadcast and live production camera system, the SK-UHD7000, will be officially unveiled at  the 2022 NAB Show, scheduled for April 24-27 in Las Vegas.

The "Sage from South Central" has uttered his final words on the Salem Radio Network, and will no longer be heard in the 3-6pm Pacific time slot on any Salem Media Group radio property, or any affiliates his program was heard on. Could another run in a California gubernatorial race be in Larry Elder's future?

Al Shuldiner, the Audio Division Chief for the FCC's Media Bureau, has given the green light to Boise State University to build a new noncommercial FM radio station in a town some 66 miles from Idaho's biggest city — presently served only by three low-power FM translators BSU operates.

Nexstar Media Group has named an Executive Director of Communications for its networks division — and from April 4 will oversee internal and external communication at NewsNation; nationally distributed diginets Antenna TV and Rewind TV; and for its lone radio station, WGN-AM in Chicago.

Doris and Monte Miller have commenced a plan designed to ensure the family's media holdings, which date to the 1880s, stay in their hands — unless they choose to sell underperforming assets to pay down debt. Rocking M Media has filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection.

In late February, the FCC released a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture to Cumulus Media that would see the agency collect $32,000 for EEO-related flubs tied to a group of radio stations it no longer owns. Now, the NAB is coming to the defense of Cumulus. It's petitioned the Commission to eliminate the entire fine.

For the past four years, he's served as Market President and Chief Revenue and Content Officer of a group of radio stations including Country WGNA-FM and Classic Rocker WQBK-FM. Starting April 18, he'll no longer be in New York's Capital District, as he's just been named VP/Operations of one of the radio broadcasting industry's biggest companies.

It reaches such Bayou Country towns as Oak Grove and Lake Providence, on the banks of the Mississippi River. It also reaches Eudora, Ark., just to the north of the state line. Now, this FM serving the "Ark-La-Miss" area since 1958 is heading to a new owner.

One week ago, Wall Street was abuzz over a report suggesting that Nielsen Holdings was nearing the end of negotiations with a consortium led by shareholder Elliott Management Corp. Late Sunday, Nielsen acknowledged the talks — and revealed it was saying no to the proposal. At the Closing Bell, Nielsen shares were down nearly 7%.

Diamond Sports Group LLC and Diamond Sports Finance Company, two indirect subsidies of Sinclair Broadcast Group, have completed the final settlement of their previously announced private debt exchange offer.

Two locales within the Tri-Cities DMA may have little in common, aside from the presence of FM stations owned by the same licensee. But, each town is home to first-generation Hispanic immigrants active in the viticultural and agricultural industries. This likely explains the desire of the rural properties, which are heading to a new owner.

According to The Wall Street Journal, a consortium is very much near the conclusion of negotiations that could see the sale of the nation's dominant — yet shaky — audience measurement and consumer data analytics firm. This triggered a buying frenzy for Nielsen shares, which were up by more than 30% in Monday's trading session.

With Emily Barr's exit, announced in January, and the naming of Catherine Badalamente as her successor, a shift back to Detroit for broadcast TV station owner Graham Media Group's HQ was all but certain. On Wednesday, that move became official.

The event, which is traditionally held during the NAB Show in Las Vegas, makes it return after a three-year absence on Wednesday, April 27 — bright and early at 7am Pacific.
