EEO1Source Update

Most of the Stations in the State have joined EEO1Source, the one stop helper for EEO compliance. Because of some problem linking from the NJBA web page to EEO1Source, we now suggest that when accessing EEO1Source, go directly to the EEO1Source page, www.eeo1source.com, and proceed from there.

There is a new EEO1Source tutorial on the NJBA web page. The tutorial takes you through the entire process and should answer all of your questions concerning the program. Just go to www.njbroadcasters.net and click on the tutorial logo. Debbie Scarano is the main contact at NJBA for all things EEO. Have a question? Call her at 1-888-NJBA-Fone.

 Howard L. Green Honored

Wednesday, a number of friends and colleagues of Howard Green met at the NJBA offices in Monroe to dedicate the building to the memory of Howard and to launch the official search for the first recipient of the Howard L. Green Humanitarian Award. The award will be presented annually to a worthy recipient. In addition to the Howard L. Green Medallion, a check in the amount of $1000.00 will be given to the charity of the recipient’s choice.  Mary Jane Green, Howard’s widow, dedicated the building and Governor James E., McGreevey honored Howard with a proclamation detailing the importance of Howard to the citizens of the state of NJ and especially in Atlantic and Cape May Counties. He is sorely missed.

 Broadcasters Lose In Court

The Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia sucker punched the broadcasting industry by deciding that broadcasters owe a special fee to the recording industry for the normal streaming of their signals on the Internet. The NAB, leading a group of major broadcasters, is likely to appeal the decision directly to the Supreme Court, and to also strive to get legislation from Congress exempting Stations from these extra fees
