Five all-star Country radio industry veterans to helm CRS panels, marking yet another first for Country Radio Seminar
(Nashville, TN – Aug. 23, 2010) In an unprecedented move for Country Radio Seminar, a team of five Country Radio industry veterans has been selected to moderate all CRS 2011 panels, CRB, Inc.® announced today.
The five individuals chosen by the CRB Board of Directors as the inaugural class of CRS moderators are Charlie Cook (McVay Media), Erica Farber (The Farber Connection, LLC), Dan Halyburton (McVay Media), Lon Helton (Country Aircheck) and Charlie Morgan (Emmis Broadcasting).
“In making this unprecedented change in our seminar, the vision of Country Radio Broadcasters was to implement a team of moderators who possess the specialized skills to draw the best from our panelists and audience participants,” says CRB Executive Director Bill Mayne. “We feel that this is the best way to encourage open dialogue and useful ‘take away’ information from each session. Our goal is to provide each participant with the necessary tools to increase revenue, increase ratings and advance their career.”
The five Country Radio Seminar moderators will share the responsibility of overseeing and directing 17 different educational panels over three days at CRS 2011, to be held March 2-4, 2011, at the Nashville Convention Center. CRB plans to recruit a pool of at least 20 individuals to choose from to assemble each year’s class of moderators.
In the past two years, Country Radio Broadcasters, Inc. has implemented a number of new events and seminar modifications designed to enhance the overall CRS experience for attendees. These changes include a digital liners program, the CRS 1 on 1 mentoring sessions, a $99 Unemployment registration rate, a completely redesigned official CRB.org website, lower rates at all registration tiers and a streamlined agenda that ensures participants can attend more panels and events during the seminar.
