Staff at the SAG-AFTRA Washington-Mid Atlantic Local office have been scheduling meet-and-greet visits throughout the year to several regional television and radio stations. Staff representatives met with members at WBAL-AM/WIYY-FM, WBAL-TV, WJLA-TV/NC8, WTOP-FM/Federal News Network and iHeart Rockville to observe their work environment, answer questions, provide updates on matters that may affect their stations, and discuss the changing landscape of the broadcast and radio industry.
