FCC Commissioner O'Rielly Named NY State Broadcasters Association New Yorker of Year

Federal Communications Commissioner Michael O'Rielly has been named "New Yorker of the Year" by the New York State Broadcasters Association (NYSBA). O'Rielly, who was born just outside Buffalo (NY), was hailed by the association as "one of the outstanding commissioners in the history of the FCC". “Receiving this award is an incredible honor," Commissioner O'Rielly said. "I’m especially humbled considering the many New Yorkers who have accomplished greater things during their careers, but I truly appreciate this gesture by the New York State Broadcasters Association and look forward to joining them for the awards luncheon during the NAB New York Show in October.”
