Pacific NW Media Group GM Heidi Persson & WSAB's Jim Rose met with Washington's congressional delegation on Capitol Hill to advocate for the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act. Now it's time for the House to bring it to the floor a vote! #DependOnAM
AM radio delivers trusted, potentially life-saving information when it matters most; seeing this in real time with the Chelan Hills Fire. WSAB will join NAB and other state associations in DC to urge Congress to pass the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act. #DependOnAM
Jim Rose is the new President & CEO of the WSAB. “Jim is one of the most respected broadcasters in the Pacific Northwest. His leadership experience, passion for local media, and commitment to advocacy make him uniquely qualified to lead WSAB." - Neal Boling, WSAB Board Chair.

Thanks @ChrisEvans & @MarkKassen for having me on @ASP to talk about the current state of local journalism and what Congress can do to level the playing field and make sure local broadcasters & local news get a fair deal.
Thank you @SenatorCantwell for your continued support of local journalism, local free over-the-air radio and television broadcasters, and local newspapers.
We shouldn't let regional and community news die as local newspapers & broadcasters adjust to digital delivery because online giants are unfairly leveraging their market power against them.

Advertising Taxes will grind the economy to a halt. Help local businesses, broadcasters and newspapers by voting against a job-killing Ad Tax in the District of Columbia.
Thank you @CM_McDuffie, @VinceGrayWard7, @trayonwhite, and @AnitaBondsDC for voting today to look at reducing spending instead of raising taxes on DC businesses and local broadcasters and newspapers! Please eliminate the job-killing Ad Tax from the DC budget!
