WASHINGTON, DC -- Commissioners Meredith Attwell Baker and Mignon Clyburn, the newest members of the Federal Communications Commission, will each speak during the 2009 NAB Radio Show, held September 23-25 in Philadelphia.

Commissioner Baker will engage in a one-on-one interview during the FCC Breakfast on Friday, September 25 at 7:30 a.m.

"NAB is honored to have Commissioners Baker and Clyburn join us at the NAB Radio Show," said NAB Executive Vice President Dennis Wharton. "We look forward to hearing their insight on a host of issues impacting local radio broadcasters across America."

Commissioner Clyburn joins the FCC from the Public Service Commission (PSC) of South Carolina, where she spent 11 years as the representative of South Carolina's sixth district.
