P.M. BRIEFING : NAB to Send Radios to Troops
The National Assn. of Broadcasters at its annual meeting announced a campaign to send radio receivers and batteries to American troops serving in the Persian Gulf.
Westinghouse Broadcasting Co.’s Group W Radio division will lead a fund-raising campaign and the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service will distribute the radios and batteries, the association said.
“Our goal is to get as many radios to as many troops as we possibly can, with a target of 25,000 receivers with batteries,” said Lynn Christian, an association senior vice president. “We think radio can play a very important role keeping our fighting people in touch with the world.”
