What Texas Association of Broadcasters does
Mission
Tab strives to promote and protect a favorable economic and regulatory climate for broadcasting and educates members and the public at large about the opportunities available and advancements possible through the efforts of free, over-the-air broadcast operations.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Member services - members have access to legal advice on topics ranging from the first amendment, newsgathering and advertising disclosures, to labor laws, state tax policy and fcc regulatory compliance. Members also have access to technical assistance with the emergency alert system, resources necessary for recruiting a diverse workforce, and a voluntary assessment of compliance with fcc technical regulations. In addition, members receive regular briefings on key insights into state and federal policymaking and benefit from year-round governmental relations advocacy before state and federal policymakers addressing the industry's varied interests.
Convention & other training - members have access to online training for management, operational, sales and human resources staff; a statewide conference providing management, legal, regulatory, sales, promotional and technology training, as well as technology demonstrations; a separate statewide conference on newsgathering practices; periodic regional sales training programs; a virtual seven-week training program for new advertising executives, and a biennial conference on state legislative policy issues.
Public awareness - members benefit from the association's annual public service research project which documents the value of broadcasters' contributions to local communities, an online job bank which promotes employment opportunities at stations throughout texas and helps them recruit a diverse workforce. Members' robust support of the association's public education partnership program which distributes statewide messages of public importance underscores the continued effectiveness of broadcast advertising.
The 3 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $4.1M to $4.7M (+15%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

80% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF BROADCASTERS.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.
