Al Peterson To Cease Publishing NTS Media Online

Broadcast industry veteran Al Peterson will publish the final editions of NTS MediaOnline Today and NTS MediaOnline Monthly, on Friday, December 16, 2016.  The founder and publisher of the iconic News/Talk/Sports industry publications arrived at the final decision to end their 10-year run over the Thanksgiving holiday.

Peterson comments, “After serving as the News/Talk/Sports editor for 10 years at the top industry newspaper Radio & Records, to then creating NTS MediaOnline and building it into a reliable hub for news, information and conversation about Talk Radio for the last decade, it just feels right to start a new chapter in my life – one where I’m not waking before sunrise to a blank page and a daily deadline.”

Commenting on his NTS MediaOnline partner and current RAB SVP/Membership Brooke Williams, Peterson says, “Through the majority of these past 20 years, I’ve had the great fortune of having my good friend and longtime sales and marketing partner Brooke working by my side.  Her efforts and contributions made our success possible while first at R&R and then creating and building NTS. She’s one in ‘10’ million and I can’t thank her enough for her friendship, profound professionalism, and for helping me put my kids through college!”  

While Peterson plans to enjoy more time with his family and pursue other interests outside the industry, he’ll also continue to seek new ways to positively contribute to the future success of radio, a medium he has loved since he was a kid with a transistor radio under his pillow.

NTSMediaOnline.com and associated email for Peterson and Williams will remain active through the end of 2016.
