Veteran radio personality Todd Pettengill will host the Broadcasters Foundation of America (BFOA) Media Mixer during this year’s Morning Show Boot Camp (MSBC) in Austin. The event is set for Thursday, August 7, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. CT at the Austin Marriott Downtown.
“Giving back to the industry that I love is an honor,” Pettengill said. “I’m looking forward to having fun with a room full of colleagues who love broadcasting as much as I do.”
Pettengill, best known for his long-running partnership with Scott Shannon on “Scott & Todd in the Morning” on 95.5 WPLJ in New York, will help kick off MSBC 2025, which runs from August 7 to 9. This will mark the first time the BFOA Media Mixer is held in conjunction with the annual talent-focused conference.
“We are in the business of entertainment, and having a morning show celebrity like Todd host our Media Mixer brings star power to the event,” said BFOA President Tim McCarthy. “I want to thank Todd for giving his time to helping us create more awareness about the BFOA’s charitable purpose.”
The Broadcasters Foundation of America is the only national charity dedicated exclusively to helping broadcasters in acute need due to illness, accident, or tragedy.
Since launching the Media Mixer series in 2023, the Foundation has hosted events in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago to build awareness and connect professionals across radio and television.
“For most of us, broadcasting is more than a way to earn a living — it’s part of our DNA,” said MSBC Founder Don Anthony. “The BFOA Media Mixer is an opportunity for Boot Camp attendees, as well as broadcasters in the Austin area, to join us.”
The event is open to all members of the broadcast industry and is free to attend, though pre-registration is required. McCarthy also thanked Anthony for partnering on the initiative and acknowledged Benztown as the event’s official sponsor.
