In 2023, the Broadcasters Foundation of America started its Media Mixer series in New York City to provide connection and networking opportunities for junior-level television and radio professionals while promoting the BFoA’s charitable mission. Now the event’s fourth installment is coming to the West Coast for the first time.
The networking event will be held in Los Angeles on October 23, at the NBCUniversal Studio Lot from 6-8p and hosted by NBC4 Anchor Colleen Williams. She will be joined by iHeartMedia personality Valentine from 104.3 MYfm’s Valentine in the Morning.
The free mixer is sponsored by NBCUniversal Local and the California Broadcasters Association. Registration is required as limited space is available.
Broadcasters Foundation President Tim McCarthy said, “I’m very excited about our first West Coast Media Mixer. We’ve had remarkable success in New York and Chicago, bringing awareness of the mission of the Foundation to a new generation of broadcasters. The young professionals who attend get a great deal of value out of it. We look forward to expanding our reach on the West Coast.”
Future Media Mixers are being teased for Nashville and Atlanta.
Support for the Broadcasters Foundation comes from the broadcasting community. Over the past 15 years, the Foundation’s grant-making efforts have grown significantly, increasing from providing $400,000 in grants in 2007 to nearly $2,000,000 in 2024.
