Membership Dues
OAB membership dues are used to support advocacy efforts at the federal and state levels to protect the interests of broadcasters.
Dues are based upon a station’s annual revenue. Commonly-owned stations with studios located in the same market may combine revenue of all stations for purposes of paying membership dues. Membership dues are billed annually in January.
Please contact the OAB for a copy of our 2026 W-9 form.
