NAB Attendance Falls 3 Percent

Las Vegas -- Attendance at this week's National Association of Broadcasters convention here fell 3 percent, with 89,000 people expected to move through the turnstiles and pin on badges by Thursday.

Major cable and broadcasting trade shows have suffered declines in recent years due to recession, an advertising slump, the bursting of the Internet bubble, war and international terrorism.

NAB spokesman Dennis Wharton said the loss of about 3,000 attendees from 2002 could have been a lot worse, with the U.S. leading a military force in Iraq and health officials around the globe combating the SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) outbreak.
