The Tri-State Radio Show aims to provide valuable opportunities and insights for regional broadcasters from Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio. Scheduled for March 31 to April 1, 2026, the event will be hosted at the Cincinnati Marriott River Center in Covington, Kentucky. This collaborative effort among the Indiana Broadcasters Association (IBA), Kentucky Broadcasters Association (KBA), and Ohio Association of Broadcasters (OAB) marks a significant step in supporting professionals in the ever-evolving media landscape.
