Longtime media industry executive Dan Mason will be recognized by the Broadcasters Foundation of America with its 2025 Edward F. McLaughlin Lifetime Achievement Award.
The award — given annually to an individual who has made invaluable contributions to the broadcast industry — will be given to Mason during the Broadcasters Foundation of America Golden Mic Award Gala and Fundraiser on Monday, March 10th at the Plaza Hotel in New York City.
“I am honored to receive this distinction from the Broadcasters Foundation,” stated Mason. “Broadcasting gave me a career that I love on the air and in the boardroom. There are many broadcasters across our country who feel the same way, but tragedy struck their lives, leaving them in need of help. That’s why I served on the Board of the Broadcasters Foundation and continue to support its charitable mission.”
Dan Mason served as the President of CBS Radio from 1995 to 2002 before ascending to the role of CEO from 2007 to 2015. He also served as the President of Group W Radio for Westinghouse before joining CBS Radio.
“Dan is a passionate broadcaster and media visionary whose accomplishments helped define today’s broadcasting business,” said Broadcasters Foundation chair Scott Herman. “I worked with Dan for many years, at Westinghouse and CBS, and his leadership elevated our efforts and led us to outstanding success.”
“Dan is the perfect candidate to receive the prestigious Edward F. McLaughlin Lifetime Achievement Award,” added Broadcasters Foundation President Tim McCarthy. “His commitment to advancing the broadcast business, especially into the digital space, is well-known, as is his dedication to the mission of the Broadcasters Foundation.”
