1. 2025 in Review

We invite you to look back at what we accomplished together during 2025, from another successful NAB Show to our strategic advocacy efforts on Capitol Hill and at the Federal Communications Commission.

It is our privilege to fight for broadcasters in Washington, D.C., and to focus policymakers' attention on the essential work you do every day of the year, providing unparalleled service and local journalism your viewers and listeners depend on.

2. Fight to Keep Live Sports Accessible for All Fans

What's happening: Fans are sharing their frustration about sports moving behind paywalls like Prime and Netflix. We want to channel their anger into action and urge Washington to keep live sports on free, local television.

• Game On is a new site for fans with tools for broadcasters, highlighting how local stations deliver live sports coverage that is universally accessible without a subscription, internet connection or login.
• 📺 Get involved: You can help spread the word to your viewers online, on air and in the community. Click here for tools.

3. Maximize Your Impact with This Congressional Calendar

📅 The 2026 Congressional Calendar is now available. Use this calendar to confirm when Congress will be out of session and take the opportunity to plan meetings with your legislators and invite them to visit your station while they are back home.
