NAB's Smith Re-Upped

National Association of Broadcasters President Gordon Smith has renewed his contract through Dec 31, 2018, NAB Board chair Charles Warfield said. The announcement comes the day before the board and members celebrate Service to America awards for stations' public service efforts.

Smith has been in the post since 2009. He is a former two-term Republican senator from Oregon and has been leading NAB's efforts to secure a fair incentive auction process.
