Fritts, who spent 23 years as president and CEO of NAB, launched in March 2006 The Fritts Group, which offers counsel to telecommunication companies. An inductee in the B&C Hall of Fame and winner of the NAB’s Distinguished Service Award, Fritts has also been honored with the Foundation’s Golden Mike and Chairman’s Award.
The Broadcasters Foundation, which provides aid to broadcasters in need, previously announced Bob Pittman as the 2016 Golden Mike Award recipient and the handful of 2016 Ward L. Quaal Leadership Award honorees.
