TORONTO – The North American Broadcasters Association (NABA) has named Michael McEwen as its director general effective March 26, 2012.
McEwen’s broadcast experience includes a career with CBC/Radio-Canada both in production and in the executive offices, a long association with NABA as a past director, president and secretary general, and an innovator in implementing new technologies such as the introduction of digital HD television in Canada. Since 2010, he has been the chairman of UK-based consultants Media Asset Capital.
“Michael brings to NABA a depth of broadcast experience and understanding of the industry at a time our members are challenged by change in our markets, services, technologies and regulations”, said president Robert Briskman, in the announcement. “We look to him to use that experience and consensus making skills to help our members come to unified positions on the issues of the day and to take actions beneficial to our industry.”
NABA is a non-profit association of broadcasting organizations throughout North America committed to advancing the interests of broadcasters at home and internationally.
