Greetings from your broadcast friends out on the Desert… This is BDR Newsletter 865, Volume 17, #32 for March 11, 2026
NAB RADIO ENGINEER OF THE YEAR The NAB has announced the 2026 Engineering Achievement Awards. Bert Goldman is the recipient of the Radio award. His work on FM boosters and translators, as well as AM directional designs, have had impacts in many markets around the country. The presentation will be at the NAB Spring Show in Las Vegas.
CUMULUS BANKRUPT AGAIN Cumulus Media filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on March 5, 2026 to eliminate another $600 million in debts. (Previously, it dropped some $1 billion in a 2017 bankruptcy.) The pre-packaged bankruptcy reorganization wipes out all stock equity (current public shareholders get nothing) and the current board, and it takes the company private, 95% owned by the major creditors.
NOTT LIMITED Sometimes a company that says it is not limited is just using an advertising theme. But Nott Limited, actually founded by Ron Nott, provides a wide range of products and services. Ron’s successor, Jim Burt is our guest this week to talk about the current offerings of the company and how they can help you.
Join us tomorrow (Thursday) and enjoy the information. Jeff will always answer any transmitter questions. Can you stump him? The request for the link is, as usual, on www.theBDR.net/TLG/ and thebdrnet channel on youtube.
