Christian broadcasters to hear DeSantis, celebrate Israel, laud colleagues at Orlando event

Members of the National Religious Broadcasters will gather in Orlando Monday to trade industry experiences, celebrate Israel’s 75th anniversary and hear from one potential 2024 GOP presidential candidate.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican who won reelection last year, will welcome delegates to the 2023 NRB International Christian Media Convention on Monday evening, just before evangelist Franklin Graham delivers the keynote address.

Mr. DeSantis follows a number of political leaders, including former House Speaker John Boehner, Ohio Republican, and ex-Sen. Rick Santorum, Pennsylvania Republican, who have addressed the association, which represents radio and TV station owners, network executives, and those who create content for airing in the U.S. and overseas.

“As NRB Convention returns to the state of Florida, we are pleased to have Governor DeSantis welcome the community of Christian broadcasters, continuing our tradition of inviting the governors of our host states to address NRB,” Troy A. Miller, the association’s president and CEO, said.

Mr. Miller said the annual event “is where Christian media and broadcasting come to life, and we welcome national and international newsmakers at every level.”
