Alan Alda to Receive the 2019 #NABShow Distinguished Service Award

The 2019 NAB Show kicks off on Monday, April 8th and will feature the presentation of the Distinguished Service Award to Alan Alda and the Opening Keynote and State of the Industry address by Gordon Smith, President and CEO of the National Association of Broadcasters. Open to all registered attendees with All-Badge Access on the Main Stage.

Every year, the NAB recognizes members of the broadcast community who have made a significant and lasting contribution to the industry. The long list of previous award recipients include Robin Roberts, Bob Schieffer, Michael J. Fox, Mary Tyler Moore, President Ronald Reagan, Edward R. Murrow, Bob Hope, Walter Cronkite and Oprah Winfrey, among others.

Alda is best known for his starring role as Dr. Hawkeye Pierce in the hit television series “M*A*S*H,” which debuted in 1972 and ran for 11 seasons. “M*A*S*H,” a comedic drama set during the Korean War, was inducted into the NAB Broadcasting Hall of Fame in 1996. Alda, in addition to playing a starring role in the series, also directed and co-wrote its feature-length final episode in 1983. The show still ranks in the top-ten list of most-watched programs in the U.S. and made Alda the only person to win acting, directing and writing Emmys for the same series.

NAB Show includes various special events that bring forward lively discussion on key topics and trends to round out your overall experiences and build on what you will see and hear on the Show Floor, in conference sessions and during stage presentations.
