NAB Board Bickers Over Legal Bills, Lombardo

摘要

When the last of the major TV networks quit NAB last June, it was supposed to be the end of the infighting that has plagued the lobby for the past several years. But last's week NAB winter board meeting in Key Biscayne, Fla., seemed as dysfunctional as ever as some radio and TV board members complained about fat legal bills to battle the networks on media-ownership limits and plans for more board meetings. Even the board-member spouses came away unhappy. Fritts and other NAB staff members declined comment on the internal politics, and Lombardo couldn't be reached. "What hanpens at the meeting stays in the meeting," said spokesman Dennis Wharton.
