Meyer was an architect of The WB Television Network and played a similar role in founding The CW.
Scanzoni is a longtime media agency executive who is among the most public faces of advertisers' and media agencies' efforts to push for revised audience measurement data. GroupM is the largest media buyer in the market.
The OnScreen Media Summit takes place the day after the 2009 B&C Hall of Fame gala, set for Oct. 20 at New York's Waldorf-Astoria.
