With no White House incumbent, the presidential primaries scheduled earlier than ever before and the full House and one-third of the Senate up for re-election, 2008 is proving to be an active and historic year for political races. Radio and television broadcasters need to be fully prepared to tackle the complex rules of political advertising. On Tuesday, January 15 from 3:30 – 5 p.m. EST, the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) will host a free live webcast for NAB members.
Some of the topics to be covered in this 90-minute webcast include:
- sponsorship identification
