NABPAC promotes good citizenship and encourages voluntary contributions and participation in the political process by educating and mobilizing NABPAC eligible individuals to support candidates for political office who champion broadcast issues.”
National Association of Broadcasters PAC, on its own site,
Quoted from the committee's site, or its sponsor's or funder's where its own says nothing. The statement is filed under topics from a fixed list, chosen by AI models when two of three agree; which side it takes is in its own words.

The internet has transformed the media marketplace, yet TV and radio broadcasters are still subject to outdated rules restricting the number and type of outlets they may own.
Policymakers should support the continued modernization of these rules to account for the rise, and increasing influence, of digital media.

The next generation of broadcast television technology will deliver life-saving advanced emergency alerting, stunning pictures, immersive, customizable audio and improved reception - all for free - to enhance and expand your broadcast viewing experience.
Because the new technology combines the best of broadcast television and broadband, Next Gen TV allows local stations to better personalize their broadcasts with information and interactive features to give viewers the content that is most relevant to them.

A nearly decade-old proceeding at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) could impact local television broadcasters' ability to invest and serve audiences with uniquely local and trusted information; however, it doesn't include up-to-date marketplace information regarding the rise, and increasing influence, of digital distribution platforms.
Promoting diversity in broadcasting through the tax certificate program

In 1978, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) established the Minority Tax Certificate Program, which provided a tax incentive to those who sold their majority interest in a broadcast station to minorities.
From 1978 to 1995, the program was highly effective in leveling the playing field for underrepresented broadcasters, increasing diverse ownership in broadcast stations by more than 550 percent.
Unfortunately, Congress repealed this program in 1995.
Broadcasters opposed this repeal because of the program's dramatic and positive impact on increasing ownership of broadcast stations for people of color.
Promoting the free flow of information

Virtually all states provide protections, either by statute or by judicial decision, so that journalists are not routinely forced to reveal the identity of confidential sources.
In federal courts, however, there is no uniform set of standards to govern when information about confidential sources can be sought from reporters.
Broadcast journalists' ability to bring important matters to the American public has been put in jeopardy as numerous reporters have been questioned about their confidential sources or had their records subpoenaed in cases before federal courts.

America's public safety infrastructure is at risk if automakers remove AM radio from vehicles.
Policymakers should enact the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act (S. 1669; H.R. 3413) to keep this vital service as part of their vehicles to ensure Americans can be alerted to impending danger.

Local broadcast journalists and newspaper reporters provide a lifeline for our communities.
From investigative reports to breaking news and weather coverage, they invest significant resources to keep Americans informed about critical events.
There has never been a more critical time for trusted local journalism - but the very survival of newsrooms is being threatened.

Congress should not mandate a performance tax on free, local radio stations that would jeopardize local jobs, prevent new artists from breaking into the recording business and harm the hundreds of millions of Americans who rely on local radio.
Broadcasters urge legislators to support the Local Radio Freedom Act, which opposes a performance tax.

NAB supports initiatives that will improve diversity in broadcasting and create new opportunities for women, people of color and other underrepresented communities.
To that end, NAB is advocating for legislation to reinstate the diversity tax certificate to ensure station owners are as diverse as the communities they serve.

Each part reads different filings, so counts and totals can differ.
Direct PAC contributions and independent expenditures explicitly reported as support, by the party of the candidate they went to.
| Party of the candidate | Candidates | Direct | Independent | Amount | Share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Republican | 95 | $458,413 | $0 | $458,413 | 53% |
| Democratic | 98 | $304,305 | $0 | $304,305 | 35% |
| Other or unresolved | 36 | $96,400 | $0 | $96,400 | 11% |
| Shown support | 229 | $859,118 | $0 | $859,118 | 100% |
Contributions are reported money, not endorsements; a PAC giving to both parties is common.
Every contribution on line 23 of the committee’s own Schedule B, which is the filing its summary totals are built from. That line covers federal candidates, party committees and other political committees alike, so a super PAC funding other super PACs appears here rather than under candidate giving.
| Recipient | Count | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Democratic candidates | 99 | $306.3K · 17% |
| Republican candidates | 94 | $457.4K · 26% |
| Other or unresolved candidates | 37 | $97.4K · 5.5% |
| Other party committees | 4 | $202.3K · 12% |
| Other PACs and committees | 94 | $693K · 39% |
| All recipients | 328 | $1.8M |

Total reported receipts $2,038,397
Every dollar the committee reported receiving this cycle, split by the source the FEC filing attributes it to. Open a source marked + to see who gave. FEC filings through Oct 14, 2026.

Every dollar this committee reported spending this cycle, split by the lines it reports against. Open a line to see who was actually paid on it. FEC filings through Oct 14, 2026.
$2.1M spent from Jan 2025 to Oct 2026. Most in one report: $282.3K, March 2025.
The running total of what the committee’s FEC reports say it spent, independent expenditures included, with a point at the end of each report. The line is straight between reports because a report gives one total for its whole period.
Besides giving through its PAC, National Association of Broadcasters pays lobbyists to press Congress and federal agencies. Each quarter it, or a firm it hires, files a public report under the Lobbying Disclosure Act saying which topics it worked on, what it spent, and whom it contacted. This is what those reports say.
Each report files its work under official topics. The bar shows how often each topic came up across the reports; open one to read what was filed under it. Naming a bill says the organization lobbied on it, not which side it took.
The organization’s own reports give its total lobbying costs, including any firms it hired; each firm reports what this client paid it.
Reported twice a year by the lobbying filer. $19.2K is political giving that also appears in FEC filings.
Matched by name: these reports are filed for “NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BROADCASTERS”, found by searching “NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BROADCASTERS”. Lobbying and FEC records share no ID, so an organization that lobbies under another name is missed. Source: LDA.gov, accessed Oct 26, 2026. Senate Office of Public Records cannot vouch for the data or analyses derived from these data after the data have been retrieved from LDA.gov.

Money moving between this committee and other committees, matched on FEC committee ID rather than the name each filing was typed under. Both sides exclude memo entries.

By the state each contributor wrote on the filing. The FEC aggregates every Schedule A line together, so one committee or organization transfer can account for a whole state. Contributors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized and cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.

A further $20,250 came from donors whose answer names no employer (N/A, None), so it is not ranked. Ranked from the largest 200 of 201 employer spellings filed; each share is of the money in those. Itemized receipts grouped by the words contributors filed. The FEC aggregates every Schedule A line here, so committee and organization money sits alongside individuals; this is not an industry classification. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($60,426) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
