Todd Pettengill to host BFOA Media Mixer in Austin on Aug 7th
New York, NY – July 28, 2025 – One of the most popular and highly rated morning show hosts in the country, Todd Pettengill — one half of the multiple award-winning Scott & Todd in the Morning — will host the Broadcasters Foundation of America (BFOA) Media Mixer at Morning Show Boot Camp (MSBC). The Media Mixer will take place on Thursday, August 7, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm CT, at Austin Marriott Downtown in the Waterloo Foyer, a kick-off to the three-day MSBC, which runs from August 7 to August 9. The BFOA is the only charity devoted exclusively to helping broadcasters in acute need from debilitating illness or tragedy.
Scott & Todd In the Morning was co-hosted by legendary air personalities Scott Shannon and Pettengill and aired on WPLJ, New York. When Shannon announced his departure, the show was rebranded The Todd Show in the Morning.
“We are in the business of entertainment and having a morning show celebrity like Todd host our Media Mixer brings star-power to the event,” stated Tim McCarthy, President of the BFOA. “I want to thank Todd for giving his time to helping us create more awareness about the BFOA’s charitable purpose.”
“Giving back to the industry that I love is an honor,” said Pettengill. “I’m looking forward to having fun with a room full of colleagues who love broadcasting as much as I do.”
BFOA Media Mixers celebrate the camaraderie and connection within the broadcasting community. Attendees mix and mingle with peers, on-air talent, and executives. It is the first Media Mixer to take place at MSBC, which attracts radio industry executives, program directors, morning show talent and producers.
“I want to thank Don Anthony for his support and for partnering with us to present our Media Mixer during Morning Show Boot Camp,” added McCarthy. “The BFOA Media Mixer is free to all in broadcasting, with special thanks to Benztown for sponsoring this event.”
Don Anthony, Founder of MSBC, commented, “For most of us, broadcasting is more than a way to earn a living, it’s part of our DNA. The BFOA Media Mixer is an opportunity for Boot Camp attendees, as well as broadcasters in the Austin area, to join us.”
