BFoA to Present Networking Media Mixer in NYC

The Broadcasters Foundation of America is presenting its third in a series of networking Media Mixers, Thursday, June 13, from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm, at the New York City studios of iHeartMedia. The event is being hosted by iHeartMedia air personality Gandhi, a member of the nationally syndicated Elvisim Duran And The Morning Show,” with a live performance from local singer/songwriter sensation Jackie Romeo, currently a contestant on “The Voice.”  BFoA says the mixers serve a dual purpose: to bring together up-and-coming broadcast professionals with their peers and executives; and to increase awareness of the BFoA’s charitable mission. BFoA president Tim McCarthy states, “Our first two Media Mixers were a huge success for young professionals who mingled with executives, and we’re looking forward to another great event. We have an obligation to show young people in radio and television that broadcasting offers successful and fulfilling career opportunities. We also need to help them understand what the Broadcasters Foundation does, why it’s important, and how they can help.” The two-hour event is free, but space is limited, and advance registration is required.
