The Broadcasters Foundation of America held its first Los Angeles Media Mixer on October 23, 2024, at NBCUniversal, gathering over 100 industry members, from executives to newcomers. Hosted by iHeartMedia’s Valentine and NBC4’s Colleen Williams, the event featured a performance by singer Spencer Sutherland. NBCUniversal Local, the California Broadcasters Association, and industry leaders supported the mixer, which aims to build community and raise awareness of the Foundation’s charitable mission. Future Media Mixers are planned for Nashville and Atlanta. The Foundation’s grant-making has grown significantly, reaching nearly $2 million in 2024 from $400,000 in 2007.
