NAB Says It Seeks to Work With New RIAA Chief on Finding 'Common Ground'

NAB looks forward to working with new RIAA President Mitch Glazier on "finding common ground on issues of importance to our respective industries," said NAB CEO Gordon Smith in a news release Monday. Earlier that day, RIAA said Glazier will be promoted to chairman-CEO effective in January 2019; Chairman-CEO Cary Sherman retires, effective at the end of 2018 (see the personals section of the April 4 issue of this publication). NAB and RIAA have disagreed on music royalty issues. The groups declined further comment Tuesday.
