Spirit of Broadcasting Award, Showcases Mega-Producer Jesse Collins<\/h3>\n\n\n<p><strong>Washington, D.C. \u2014<\/strong> The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nabshow.com\/las-vegas\/\"> 2026 NAB Show<\/a> will kick off with a celebration worthy of television history, as the iconic CBS series \u201cSurvivor\u201d marks its milestone 50th season and receives NAB\u2019s prestigious Spirit of Broadcasting Award during the Show\u2019s Opening Session at 10 a.m. PDT on Monday, April 20, 2026, on the Main Stage at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Opening Session will also feature a keynote conversation with Emmy Award-winner <a href=\"https:\/\/jessecollinsent.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jesse Collins<\/a>, an executive producer of the annual GRAMMY Awards and an executive producer of the Super Bowl Halftime Shows since 2021, as well as other major, globe-spanning productions and broadcasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSurvivor\u201d host and executive producer Jeff Probst will join in a conversation with NAB President and Chief Executive Officer Curtis LeGeyt live from Fiji \u2014 more than 5,400 miles away \u2014 where production is already underway on the show\u2019s 51st season. The landmark \u201cSurvivor\u201d 50 season airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET\/PT on CBS and Paramount +.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSurvivor\u201d legend Cirie Fields will accept the award on behalf of the show. A widely celebrated fan favorite, Fields has competed in five seasons of the Emmy-winning series over 20 years. Known for her unparalleled social game, she has been called \u201cmaybe the most celebrated and loved player\u201d in the show\u2019s history by Probst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nab.org\/events\/awards\/overview.asp?id=2016\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The NAB Spirit of Broadcasting Award<\/a> is presented periodically to individuals or organizations that have made a lasting and meaningful impact on the broadcasting industry. With 25 years on the air and a format that helped reshape modern television, \u201cSurvivor\u201d stands as one of the most influential series in the medium\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2018Survivor\u2019 is one of the most enduring and influential franchises in television history,\u201d said April Carty-Sipp, executive vice president, Industry Affairs and Innovation at NAB. \u201cFor 25 years, it has continuously reinvented what unscripted storytelling can be while captivating audiences around the world. Reaching 50 seasons is an extraordinary achievement, and we\u2019re proud to recognize its impact on our industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Opening Session will also spotlight one of the most powerful creative forces behind today\u2019s biggest live television events. Collins, founder and CEO of Jesse Collins Entertainment, will take the stage for a featured keynote conversation with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nabshow.com\/speaker\/carolyn-giardina\/\">Carolyn Giardina<\/a>, a leading journalist covering entertainment technology and filmmaking craft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Collins is the producer behind some of the most watched and culturally defining broadcasts in the world, including the BET Awards and the Oscars. His work spans music, sports and entertainment, consistently shaping the moments that bring global audiences together in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJesse Collins is one of the leading creative forces in television today,\u201d said Carty-Sipp. \u201cFrom the Super Bowl Halftime Show to the GRAMMY Awards and the Oscars, he has helped define what live entertainment looks like at the highest level. His perspective on the craft and scale of live production will be an unforgettable highlight of the Opening Session.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, the \u201cSurvivor\u201d honor and Collins\u2019 appearance help set the tone for a 2026 NAB Show focused on the intersection of storytelling, technology and cultural impact, from the formats that endure to the live moments that define the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The opening session will also celebrate America\u2019s 250th birthday with reminders of the powerful role storytelling plays in capturing who we are as a nation, along with the industry\u2019s role in the tools and platforms to expand those possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2026 NAB Show takes place April 18\u201322 (exhibits April 19\u201322) at the Las Vegas Convention Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nabshow.com\/las-vegas\/registration\/\">Attendees<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nabshow.com\/exhibit-sponsor\/las-vegas\/exhibiting-at-nab-show\/\">exhibitors<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nabshow.com\/exhibit-sponsor\/las-vegas\/sponsorship-and-advertising\/\">sponsors<\/a> can learn more at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nabshow.com\/las-vegas\/\">nabshow.com\/las-vegas\/<\/a>.
