NAB has banner year
Revenue of $60 million projected for FY 2000
By Paige Albiniak -- Broadcasting & Cable, 1/28/2001 7:00:00 PM
It was another banner year for the National Association of Broadcasters, with FY 2000 revenue projected to near $60 million. (Its fiscal year ends April 30, 2001.)
Most of that was earned from the highly profitable NAB convention. Last year's annual confab in Las Vegas pulled in $38.87 million, 5.7% ($2.1 million) over budget. This year, the show is expected to reap $41.58 million, a $2.5 million, or 7%, increase, over projected 2000.
NAB did suffer a loss of $395,000 due to NBC's departure from the association last March. But with $16.1 million in operating income, which brings NAB almost $3 million over budget , the association could afford to lose the network. Had NBC not quit, NAB's TV member dues would have been $200,000 over budget, the report says. Radio dues in FY 2000 totaled $4.15 million, while TV dues were $5.31 million.
Interest is the association's second largest income stream after the convention. The association expects to earn $4.1 million in interest in FY 2001 and $5.5 million in 2002.
The NAB also derives income from the NAB Radio Show, which was held in San Francisco in 2000 and earned $3.19 million. This year, the Radio Show will be held in New Orleans.
