Context:I-National Association of Broadcasters (i-NAB) iyinhlangano yezimboni kanye neqembu lokugqugquzela elimelela izintshisekelo zabasakazi bezentengiso nabangewona ezentengiso abasebenza emsakazweni nasethelevishini e-United States. I-NAB imelela iziteshi zomsakazo nezethelevishini ezingaphezu kuka-8 300 kanye namanethiwekhi okusakaza.  Kusukela ngo-2022, umongameli kanye ne-CEO ye-NAB nguCurtis LeGeyt.  Ukusungulwa  Indlunkulu ye-NAB eWashington, D.C. I-NAB yasungulwa njengeNational Association of Radio Broadcasters (i-NARB) ngo-Ephreli 1923 eDrake Hotel eChicago. Umsunguli wenhlangano kanye nomongameli wayo wokuqala kwakungu-Eugene F. McDonald Jr., owasungula nenhlangano yeZenith. Ngo-1951 yashintsha igama layo yaba iNational Association of Radio and Television Broadcasters (i-NARTB) ukuze ihlanganise imboni yethelevishini. Ngo-1958 yamukela igama layo lamanje, elithi "National Association of Broadcasters".  Umsakazo wezohwebo I-NAB yasebenzela ukusungula isimiso somsakazo wezentengiselwano e-United States. Lolu hlelo lwasungulwa ngo-Agasti 1928 ngokusungulwa kwe-General Order 40<unk>uhlelo lokwabiwa kabusha komsakazo yi-Federal Radio Commission eyanikeza amaza amahle kakhulu nezikhathi zokusakaza embonini yomsakazo yezohwebo eyayisanda kuvela ngaleso sikhathi. Ngemuva kwe-General Order 40, umfelandawonye oxegayo wabafundisi, abasakazi abangenzi nzuzo, izinyunyana zabasebenzi, namaqembu enkolo ahlangana ukuze aphikise i-NAB kanye nabalingani babo ngawo-1920 no-1930, futhi athuthukise uhlelo lomsakazo lomphakathi, olungenzi nzuzo, oluxhaswe ngemvume ngaphandle kwezikhangiso (kufana nalokho okwenzekile nge-BBC). Lo mfelandawonye wathi imboni yezentengiselwano yayizothuthukisa kuphela izinhlelo ezinenzuzo, ngaleyo ndlela inciphise izinga kanye namathuba esikhathi esizayo okusakaza komsakazo.  Njengoba yayingenakho ukuxhumana kwezombusazwe, izinsiza, noma ukukhangiswa kwe-NAB kanye nomkhakha womsakazo wezohwebo, umfelandawonye ongenzi nzuzo wagcina ulahlekelwe yimpi ngokudlula koMthetho Wezokuxhumana ka-1934.  I-National Independent Broadcasters yasungulwa ngo-1939 njengengxenye ye-NAB, ukumela iziteshi ezazingahlangene nanoma iyiphi inethiwekhi, kodwa iqembu lahlukana ngo-1941.  Umsakazo wesathelayithi Abaningi abathanda umsakazo wesathelayithi baye bagxeka iNAB ngokucindezela imithetho evumela lezo zinsizakalo. I-NAB iphikisane nokuvunyelwa kwe-FCC kwezinsizakalo zombili zomsakazo wesathelayithi e-United States - i-XM ne-Sirius - futhi ngaphezu kwalokho yagxeka ukuhlangana kuka-2008 kwalezi zinkampani ezimbili, ibiza inkampani ehlanganisiwe ngokuthi "i-monopoly engaba khona".  Ukuguqukela Kwedijithali Ngo-2005, i-NAB, kanye ne-Association for Maximum Service Television Stations, Inc. (i-MSTV), yaqala ukuthuthukiswa kwebhokisi lokuguqula ledijithali-kuya-analog eliphakeme, elincane kakhulu lokuthola ithelevishini yedijithali yasemhlabeni. Umphumela walo msebenzi kwaba ukucaciswa kwebhokisi le-converter, elabe selamukelwa yi-National Telecommunications and Information Administration njengesidingo sobuchwepheshe sebhokisi le-converter elifanelekile loHlelo Lwebhokisi Le-Digital-to-Analog Converter Box.  Isikhala esimhlophe I-NAB ibilokhu igqugquzela ukusetshenziswa kwezikhala ezimhlophe, imvamisa yokusakaza engasetshenziswanga elele phakathi kweziteshi zokusakaza, nge-inthanethi ye-wireless broadband nokunye ukusetshenziswa kwedijithali. I-NAB iye yathi ukusetshenziswa kwesikhala esimhlophe kuzophazamisa imisakazo ekhona, ngisho noma ukuhlolwa kwe-Federal Communications Commission emazingeni aqine kakhulu kunalawo akhuthazwayo emibuthanweni yezinqubomgomo akuzange kusekele lezo zimangalo. Eqinisweni, i-FCC income ukusetshenziswa kwezikhala ezimhlophe ze-broadband nokunye ukusetshenziswa kwedijithali. Ngo-2011 i-NAB yaxhasa umkhankaso wokukhangisa onesihloko esithi "Ikusasa le-TV", ekhuthaza ubunikazi bangasese be-spectrum, obuhlelwe njengosongo kuthelevishini yamahhala.  Umkhankaso We-TV Yamahhala Maphakathi no-2014, kwavela umkhankaso wokukhangisa we-NAB ngokumelene nosongo lweCongress, okhuthaza ababukeli ukuthi banqobe i-lobby ye-cable-TV.  Izinhlangano ezifanayo Izinhlangano ezifana ne-NAB zikhona ezifundazweni ezithile zase-US, kufaka phakathi iGeorgia Association of Broadcasters (GAB) eGeorgia, kanye ne-Illinois Broadcasters Association (IBA), e-Illinois. ECanada, i-Canadian Association of Broadcasters (CAB) inendima efanayo.
