LISTEN: Canadian Association of Broadcasters (CAB) President Kevin Desjardins

While there was little in the recent federal budget for commercial radio and television broadcasters, Canadian Association of Broadcasters (CAB) President Kevin Desjardins believes there’s still reason for optimism in the sector.

We welcome Desjardins back to Broadcast Dialogue – The Podcast to talk about the CAB’s ongoing lobby efforts to help set private broadcasters up for success, the current climate on Parliament Hill, and more.
