The NAB Show will premiere "NAB Show Live," a 30-minute live news program which will include highlights, guest appearances and interviews with NAB Show speakers and other participants at the NAB Show in Las Vegas. The webcast, featured live and archived on the NAB Show website, will run at 4:30 p.m. PST each day from April 10-13.

"NAB Show Live" will originate each day from a different area of the show floor and will focus on the four main categories of the content lifecycle: content creation, content management, content commerce and content distribution. The underlying theme of all four programs will be content consumption. Host Ashley Esqueda will lead viewers on this journey, while a team of correspondents focus on specific topic of interest.
