NRB Members Respond to Maui Wildfires
NRB members have swiftly come to the aid of devastated communities in Maui in the aftermath of what is deemed to be the deadliest U.S. wildfire in over a century, with casualties surpassing 110 with hundreds still unaccounted for as of this writing. The NRB community is offering both tangible aid and spiritual support to disaster victims who are facing a catastrophe of unprecedented proportions on the island.
As the fires subside and Maui rebuilds, please join NRB in keeping both disaster victims and responders in prayer.

The rapid technological change of the last few decades has changed every aspect of the programming marketplace, including the way users consume video. As traditional television formats give way to cord-cutting and digital streaming, the applicable laws and regulations have not fully kept pace with new developments.
Over-the-air (OTA), or traditional television transmission, and over-the-top (OTT), or delivery by broadband internet from alternate content providers, are two of the most common platform technologies delivering video content to viewers. Digital streaming services have revolutionized the video marketplace, offering myriad ways for consumers to access television programming on demand.
