Update @ 3:16 PM. Here is NAB's press release.
David Rehr, president and CEO of the National Association of Broadcasters, is stepping down after three years on the job, a source confirmed. Other news outlets are also reporting on his departure. NAB spokesman Dennis Wharton declined to comment.
Rehr joined the NAB in December 2005 from the National Beer Wholesalers Association, where he had been CEO.
He is departing as the industry faces a number of critical and thorny public policy issues, including the digital television transition and a battle with the music industry over royalty fees.
We'll update this story as we have more information.
